Course Overview

Our BSc Accounting and Financial Management course is designed to prepare you for careers in diverse areas of accounting, finance, and management and to equip you to deal with the challenges of an ever-changing business world.

One of our key goals is to develop the broader skills and intellectual independence our graduates will need to thrive in a long and rewarding professional career. We help you create the technical accounting and finance skills required to get a head start in your professional career, but we also place accounting firmly in its business context.

Our Accounting and Financial Management degree is approved by major professional accounting bodies in the UK (ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, and ICAEW). Graduates can gain exemptions from some examinations or prior learning credits. However, we offer the opportunity to study a much more comprehensive range of subjects than those of the narrow professional syllabuses.

We are committed to helping you stand out in a highly competitive graduate job market, and the course has a first-rate graduate employability record.

The course develops skills employers value, including independent learning and research, analytical skills, teamwork, presentation, project work, computer skills, and numeracy. The variety of optional modules allows you to develop specialist skills and tailor your degree to suit your career aspirations.

Skills for employability are a vital part of the Loughborough experience. They can boost your job prospects, and this degree has a module specifically built to help you develop your study and employability skills. There are also specific modules in entrepreneurship to help those with aspirations to start or develop their businesses.

Our BSc (Hons) Accounting and Financial Management degrees share the same first-year modules as our Finance and Management degrees. If you realize at the end of your first academic year that you prefer the finance route, you may transfer to our Finance and Management degree.
