Are you determined to succeed in the world of corporate finance?
The Accounting and Finance BSc aims to provide students with broad knowledge and insight into the world of corporate finance.
Throughout your course, you will undertake a number of compulsory modules in accounting and finance. You will also be able to choose from a wide range of optional modules, including economics, entrepreneurship, global supply chains, management and leadership.
The course aims to help students develop a wide range of transferrable skills, including critical thinking, analytical problem solving, working in teams, researching, synthesising and communicating information.
The School of Business and Management has strong links with professional accountancy bodies the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). This course is accredited by ACCA. BSc Accounting and Finance students will be eligible to acquire exemptions to certain ACCA and CIMA exams by applying to the relevant professional body upon graduating.
If you are taking an Integrated Foundation Year, this will take place before Year 1.
Please note that all modules are subject to change.
Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.
International students can apply for our Accounting and Finance BSc with an Integrated Foundation Year. The foundation year prepares you for the rest of the programme and is taught on campus by Queen Mary lecturers.
"The course put equal focus on accounting and finance, and that is what I liked the most. From lectures to seminars, everything was thoroughly planned. From the different societies to Queen Mary's diverse student body, you’ll enjoy every bit of your time at university."
Teaching and research are based on three pillars: governance; social justice and sustainability; as well as the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).
You'll receive approximately two hours of weekly contact time per module, comprising lectures led by academic staff and smaller seminar groups.
For every hour spent in class, you’ll complete a further two to three hours of independent study. You'll have access to well-designed resources for this self-directed study, and we will pair you with an academic advisor to support your progress at all stages of your degree.
Assessment typically includes a combination of coursework (presentations, assignments, essay report writing, in-class tests, research and project work) and/or examinations in May or June.
