BA Accounting and Business Management
About this course
Accounting and Business Management is a combination that gives you both the financial literacy to understand and interpret how organisations account for their activities and the management knowledge to act on that understanding. Accounting is concerned with the measurement, recording, and communication of financial information, while business management provides the strategic and operational framework for using that information to make better decisions, lead teams, and grow organisations. Together, the two disciplines produce graduates who can move fluently between the numbers and the broader business context in which they sit. At the University of Westminster, this three-year full-time programme develops your skills in receiving, interpreting, and communicating financial and management information in a globalised professional environment. You will study the core areas of accounting, including financial reporting, management accounting, and auditing, alongside business management disciplines such as strategy, marketing, and operations. The programme includes a sandwich placement year, a year abroad, and work placements, giving you direct professional experience in an accounting or business management context and the opportunity to study in a different country. The combination of technical accounting knowledge and management breadth prepares you for a wide range of roles in organisations of every kind. Graduates of accounting and business management programmes work in audit, financial management, management consultancy, corporate finance, business development, and operations across all sectors. The accounting element provides a foundation for professional qualification routes with the major accountancy bodies, while the management element opens paths into general management and strategic roles. Postgraduate study in accounting, finance, business administration, or an MBA is a common route for those who wish to develop their expertise or take on more senior positions.
