Programme structure

Programme Year One

In the first year, students will take eight compulsory modules introducing them to a number of aspects of accountancy and finance. Two of the modules will introduce students to the skills required by a professional accountant as part of the preparation for their post-graduation careers.

Programme Year Two

Students build on the foundations laid in the first year and extend their knowledge of Accounting by studying topics in the three core areas of the subject, financial accounting, management accounting and finance. In the first semester, students take ULMS270, a careers-oriented module which prepares students for their year in industry.

Programme Year Three

The third year of the programme is spent on placement. Students will complete a year-long graduate-level placement, which will provide them with valuable work experience and an opportunity to further enhance the skills and attributes sought after by top employers. Students may apply for UK-based placements, or seek overseas placements or a role at Suzhou Business Park, China. Students will be visited at least twice by University staff whilst on placement and will complete placement-related assessments in May.

Programme Year Four

The core areas of Accounting and Finance are further developed and students are increasingly exposed to both the research literature in Accounting and Finance and to the practical applications of what they are learning.
