Accounting & Finance undergraduate degree structure

Overview

Lancaster's flexible degree structure means that you are able to switch the focus of your degree as both your interests evolve and career opportunities develop.

The term degree structure refers to the framework in which universities organise, regulate, and award their degrees.

Different universities operate different degree structures. These different structures have important implications for the way your time and studies are organised. Before deciding on your final choice of university, it is important to make sure that you understand exactly what you will have to do to gain a degree.

The generic degree structure at Lancaster consists of the following two elements:

Part I

1st year of either:

  • A traditional three-year degree programme
  • A four-year “sandwich” degree programme

Part II

2nd and 3rd years of a traditional three-year degree programme

or:

2nd and 4th years of a four-year “sandwich” programme (with work placement in 3rd year)

Dave Foot“The modular nature of the degrees means that you can approach your first year with an idea of what you want to study in the long term, but also with some potential options in mind. I started my degree as a joint major Finance and Economics student, but was able to move to a single major Finance in Part II.”
