Accounting and Management with a Year Abroad

Accounting and management brings together two disciplines that are closely connected in professional practice: accounting provides the technical language in which organisational financial performance is recorded and communicated, while management studies provides the frameworks for understanding how organisations are led, structured, and developed. The combination gives you both the technical precision that finance functions require and the broader strategic and behavioural understanding that senior management demands.

At the University of East Anglia, this programme includes a year abroad, giving you the experience of studying in a different country and developing the international awareness that is increasingly important in both accounting and management careers. You will cover financial and management accounting, audit, taxation, corporate finance, and financial reporting alongside management topics including strategy, marketing, organisational behaviour, and operations. UEA's business school has a strong reputation for professional relevance, and the year abroad component gives the programme an additional dimension that many employers find attractive.

Graduates are well placed for careers in chartered accountancy, management consultancy, financial management, corporate finance, audit, and general management. The professional accountancy bodies recognise relevant degree study in contributing to examination exemptions, and many graduates pursue qualifications with the ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, or CIPFA. The management element opens doors in graduate schemes across a wide range of industries, including those where accounting qualifications are not the primary requirement.

Postgraduate study in accounting, finance, or management is a further option.
