Introduction

Do you have a Higher National Diploma that included modules in accounting and/or finance? If so, this programme allows you to top it up to degree level with just one more year of study. At the end of the year you'll have a BA (Hons) degree that opens up richer and more varied career opportunities.

You'll study management accounting, financial management and international financial reporting. You'll also gain broader knowledge about managing projects, business modelling and contemporary developments in business management.
