Course summary

This course offers a fully integrated degree that combines economics and accounting subjects. The course is designed for students who seek to broaden their knowledge of the economy and understand the linkage with accounting. The economics units provide you with insight into economic institutions (for example, banks), actors, and policies that underpin and influence the financial market.

The accounting units explore accounting institutions (for example, audit firms), accounting regulations, and accounting techniques that are used by and support organisations both in and outside the market. Our course prepares you for a career in the accountancy profession or financial markets. The course provides you with access to subjects accredited by several professional accountancy bodies, including the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
