Course summary

Why International Accountancy?
A qualification in Accountancy could help you find employment not just with businesses in the UK but with global businesses too. This one-year top up course puts traditional accountancy into a global context. It could be ideal if you’ve already studied accounting and want to explore contemporary issues in an international setting.

If you’re going to be an accountant in the UK or abroad it’s vital you understand how organisations are financed and managed. That’s what’s at the core of our degree. We’ll give you invaluable insights into how international companies are run, and then give you the chance to specialise in particular areas.

How will I learn?
You will learn through practical application and delivered lectures, workshops, seminars and group work sessions. You’ll be able to connect with leading accounting firms thanks to our Partners in Accountancy scheme.

What subjects will you cover?
You’ll look at Performance Management and International Business. At the start of the year, you’ll be able to choose the optional modules that interest you to build your own career path. Options may include subjects such as Strategy in Context, Investment Management, Principles of Audit and Monetary and Financial Framework.
