BA Accounting and Finance
About this course
Accounting and finance are the twin disciplines at the heart of how organisations manage, report, and plan their financial affairs. Accounting produces the records and reports that allow organisations to understand their position and account to stakeholders. Finance applies economic theory and quantitative methods to decisions about investment, capital, and risk. Together they provide the core analytical and technical toolkit for careers in professional practice, the financial services sector, industry, and the public sector. At Strathclyde Business School, this four-year full-time programme is part of an internationally recognised business school environment. You will study the core areas of both disciplines, including financial reporting, management accounting, corporate finance, investment analysis, and the legal and regulatory frameworks in which financial professionals operate, developing both technical competency and the professional judgement that employers value. The programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study at a partner institution and to develop a genuinely international perspective on accounting and finance practice. The typical entry tariff is 232 points, reflecting the competitive nature of this programme. Graduates of accounting and finance programmes at Strathclyde are well placed to pursue professional qualifications with the major accountancy bodies, and many graduates move into professional practice, financial services, corporate finance, audit, and management accounting. The combination of rigorous academic training and the school's industry connections provides a strong foundation for graduate employment across the private and public sectors. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in accounting, finance, or business to develop specialist expertise or accelerate their professional development.
