BSc Accounting and Finance with Study Abroad
About this course
Accounting and finance is a discipline that provides the quantitative and analytical foundations for decision-making in every sector of the economy. Accounting captures, reports, and audits the financial position of organisations, while finance examines how capital is raised, invested, and managed to create value. Together they train you to understand the numbers that drive business, to interpret financial statements with critical precision, and to apply frameworks from corporate finance, investment theory, and risk management to real problems in the commercial world. At the University of Bristol, this four-year full-time programme fully integrates accounting and finance throughout the degree, ensuring the two subjects inform each other rather than sitting side by side. The distinctive feature of this version of the course is that the third year is spent at an overseas partner university, studying accounting and finance in English at a leading institution. This built-in international experience broadens your perspective on how different regulatory, cultural, and financial environments shape accounting practice and financial markets, and it is a significant advantage in an increasingly global profession. You will return for your final year at Bristol, consolidating and extending your learning with the additional depth that the international experience provides. With a typical entry tariff of 168 UCAS points, this is a competitive programme at a highly regarded university. Graduates are well positioned for careers in chartered accountancy, investment banking, corporate finance, asset management, financial analysis, audit and assurance, financial reporting, and management consultancy. The international dimension of the degree is particularly valued by large financial institutions and professional services firms with global operations. Many graduates pursue professional qualifications including ACA, ACCA, or CFA, and some continue to postgraduate study in accounting, finance, or related fields.
