Students may wish to pursue the three year BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme or the four year MAcc (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme.The three-year BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme has been designed to encourage you to develop your technical knowledge and professional skills relevant to the discipline of accounting.This programme includes technical accounting modules, such as Audit and Taxation. These technical modules allow you to obtain the maximum number of exemptions fromprofessional accountancy examinations that are available under this programme. This programme is an ideal first step if you wish to charter as an accountant, but it also provides a strong foundation if you aspire to have a career in the wider financial sector.Alternatively, you may pursue the four-year integrated Masters programme - you study for an extra year and graduate with an MAcc (Hons), as opposed to a BA (Hons).
