Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Accounting and Economics with Foundation Year with Placement Year

Program Overview

Gain a degree in accounting and economics, with an initial foundation year to prepare for the course.

  • Study your foundation year, then progress to a degree with industry accreditation from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
  • Obtain a broad understanding of accounting and economics within the business environment.
  • Learn to practically apply theoretical concepts.
  • Study from evolving course content to reflect the continually changing world economy.
  • Undertake an one year optional paid work placement.
  • Over 90% of our graduates secure jobs or go on to further study within six months of graduation.

This course will help you develop a broad understanding of accounting and economics but give you the ability to specialise in accounting or economics in your final year.

How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

The course is suitable if you don't meet the entry requirements for our BA (Hons) Accounting and Economics course, or you want extra preparation before starting degree-level study. You share the first year with other accounting, banking and finance foundation year students, then move on to the degree.

You will learn within formal teaching sessions and during guided and independent study, including collaborative group work. You will be provided with tasks, exercises, resources, and references to additional useful learning materials to access, utilise and respond to as part of your study programme.

Your learning incorporates real life context to the topics you cover where possible by requiring you to use such skills as independent research, teamwork and presentations. The accounting focus of the course is designed in consultation with the main professional accountancy bodies.

You learn through

  • lectures
  • Seminars
  • Workshops
  • Research
  • Independent and group study
  • Optional work placement

In the foundation year, you'll study wider business topics, while specialising in your chosen subject area. You'll learn useful skills such as academic writing, work in diverse teams and learn to utilise a wide variety of data sources. In doing so, you'll fully prepare yourself for undergraduate study.
