Course programme

Our degrees have a modular structure. This means that compulsory modules provide you with the core knowledge and skills that you need, while optional and discovery modules allow you to shape your course to suit your personal interests and career aspirations.

Year 1 comprises a set of compulsory modules that lay the foundations of your studies. You’ll develop the mathematical knowledge and skills you need and be introduced to key financial and economic principles, as well as the fundamentals of financial and management accounting.

In Year 2 you’ll build on this knowledge base: compulsory modules will develop your understanding of corporate finance and financial and management accounting, as well as helping you to develop skills in research methods and analytical techniques. Optional modules will focus on a range of topics within economics, or areas like the complexities of corporate social responsibility or the legal context in which businesses operate.

When you enter your final year, you will have developed high-level research and analytical skills. You’ll apply these to a project that runs throughout the year, which could be either a research dissertation on a topic of your choice or a piece of financial analysis. You’ll also explore advanced topics in finance and accounting theory. Optional modules will span diverse topics from auditing to corporate governance and taxation.
