International Accounting with Finance

International accounting with finance is designed for students who want to pursue careers in accounting and financial management within a global context. As businesses operate across borders, the differences between national accounting standards, the complexities of international tax, and the management of financial risk in multiple currencies and jurisdictions become increasingly important. The combination of international accounting and finance gives you the technical foundation needed for professional practice alongside an awareness of the global frameworks within which modern financial professionals work.

At the University of Surrey, this three-year full-time degree provides a thorough grounding in accounting principles, financial management, and the international dimensions of both. You will develop technical accounting skills alongside an understanding of corporate finance, investment, and the regulatory environments that govern international financial reporting. The programme integrates digital skills and AI literacy into the curriculum, reflecting Surrey's commitment to preparing graduates for a workplace that is changing rapidly under the influence of technology.

Surrey's strong industry connections and its location in the south-east of England, close to London's financial centre, provide a good context for developing commercial awareness alongside academic knowledge.

Graduates from international accounting and finance programmes are well placed for careers in professional services firms, multinational corporations, financial institutions, and public bodies with international operations. Audit, tax, corporate finance, and financial analysis are among the most direct destinations, with many graduates working towards professional qualifications such as ACA, ACCA, or CIMA. The international dimension of the degree is particularly valuable for roles in the foreign offices of accounting firms, in treasury and finance functions of global companies, and in international financial regulation and audit.

Postgraduate study in accounting, finance, or international business is a further option. The typical entry tariff is 120 points.
