Over recent years the demand for qualified accounting and finance professionals has grown and at Nottingham Business School we recognise that demand, creating graduates with not only a degree but also accreditation towards three accountancy bodies ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW.
Accounting and Finance is an integral function within the global business environment. The course will provide you with a firm financial grounding for a career in accountancy, finance or general management. It looks at the theories and practices of accounting and finance, as well as their context in a business setting and significance within contemporary society.
As an Accounting and Finance student you’ll have access to our unique Trading Room facility. With 12 double-screen workstations the room gives you a simulated experience of working in the fast-moving world of shares trading. You can access sophisticated analysis tools and data on worldwide financial markets.
The course enables you to make sense of a range of important real-world issues affecting our everyday lives and improve your decision making skills in ways that are distinctive to the disciplines of economics.
During your second year you have a variety of unique opportunities to get involved in such as studying abroad, enterprise project, community project, internship or simply continue with your studies. The course can be studied over three years full-time or four years with a placement.
