Accounting with Finance with Foundation Year

Accounting with finance is a degree that prepares you for professional life in the financial sector, developing both the technical skills of the accounting profession and the analytical and investment knowledge that finance brings. Accounting gives you the ability to prepare, interpret, and audit financial information, to understand the regulatory environment in which financial practice operates, and to apply management accounting and financial reporting principles to organisational decision-making. Finance adds expertise in financial markets, investment analysis, corporate finance, and the management of financial risk.

At the University of Law, this four-year full-time degree with a foundation year is designed with employability at its centre, developing the communication skills, professional awareness, and financial knowledge that graduate employers in accounting and finance look for. The foundation year builds the academic and professional foundations needed for the main programme, giving you a thorough grounding before you engage with the full technical demands of the degree. You will also develop communication skills across formal and informal professional contexts and a capacity for reflective practice that supports continuous professional development.

A typical entry tariff of 56 points reflects an accessible and inclusive approach to admissions.

Graduates from accounting with finance programmes are well placed for careers in professional accountancy practice, financial analysis, banking, corporate finance, audit, and financial management. Many pursue chartered accountancy or other professional qualifications after graduation. The combination of accounting and finance knowledge prepares you for roles across financial services, industry, and the public sector.

Postgraduate study in accounting, finance, or business administration is a natural continuation for those wishing to develop specialist expertise.
