Management with Accounting

Management with accounting is a combination that develops both the breadth of a business education and the specific financial and analytical depth that accounting expertise provides. Management equips you to understand how organisations function, how they make strategic decisions, how they lead people, and how they compete in complex markets. Accounting provides the frameworks for reading, producing, and interpreting financial information, understanding costs, analysing performance, and communicating financial health to stakeholders.

Together they produce graduates who can engage credibly with both the strategic and financial dimensions of organisational life.

At Royal Holloway, this four-year full-time programme incorporates a year in business, which may be spent in an international setting and gives you extended professional experience as a formal part of the degree. The programme draws on faculty research and expertise to ensure the curriculum is current and intellectually challenging. You will develop specialist knowledge in management and accounting alongside the interpersonal, analytical, and communication skills that commercial roles require.

The typical entry tariff of 136 points reflects the standard expected.

The year in business is a particularly valuable feature, giving you real professional experience and the self-awareness that comes from working in a demanding organisational environment, making you considerably more employable when you graduate.

Graduates pursue careers in management, finance, accounting, business analysis, consultancy, and a wide range of commercial and public sector roles. The accounting specialism also provides a platform for professional qualifications, including those offered by the ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW. Postgraduate study in management, accounting, or finance is a natural next step for those who wish to specialise or move into more senior roles.
