Programme overview Accounting demands a range of transferable skills, including quantitative, analytical and decision-making skills, and perceptive abilities.

This programme has been designed to allow you to focus predominantly on accounting modules.

This creates a stimulating and supportive learning environment. Our tutorial/seminar sessions give you a chance to interact with your peers and to develop insights into analysing and interpreting a wide and varied subject matter. We engage in significant collaborative research and have excellent contacts with many public and private sector organisations, professional bodies and researchers at other academic institutions. This course is also available for full-time evening study over 3 years in Stratford and in central...
