About this program

The Bachelorโ€™s Degree in Accounting and Finance, which includes a foundation year, is designed for students who aspire to build a strong foundation in financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, and financial management. The course is structured to provide comprehensive knowledge and practical skills essential for succeeding in the financial sector. The foundation year is particularly beneficial for those who may not meet the direct entry requirements for the main program or who wish to enhance their academic skills before embarking on advanced studies.

Over the duration of the program, students will engage with a wide variety of topics including financial reporting, investment analysis, corporate finance, and financial regulations. The course emphasizes both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, equipping students with the ability to analyze complex financial information and make informed financial decisions. Through this academic journey, students will also develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and a keen understanding of economic principles that underpin the financial markets.

Studying Accounting and Finance in London, a global financial hub, offers students unique opportunities to interact with industry professionals and gain hands-on experience through internships and networking events. The multicultural environment of London enhances the learning experience, allowing students to gain different perspectives from their peers and industry experts.

Entry requirements

To be considered for this program, students typically need to have completed their secondary education with satisfactory grades, particularly in subjects related to Mathematics and English. Students are also encouraged to have a keen interest in finance and economics. Additionally, relevant work experience or prior study in a related field can be advantageous but is not always necessary.

English:

Applicants generally need to demonstrate proficiency in English, usually through tests such as IELTS or TOEFL. Typical expectations are for an IELTS score of 6.0, with no individual component lower than 5.5, or an equivalent TOEFL score that meets the university's standards. Alternative evidence of proficiency may also be accepted.

International students must apply for a student visa to study in the country. To do so, they will need to provide necessary documentation including an acceptance letter from the university, proof of sufficient funds, and health insurance.
