Part II in detail
Accounting & Finance degree structure
The first block of eight courses in your second year contains a large compulsory element. This ensures that all students gain a good basic grounding in the core areas of their chosen subject. Despite this large compulsory element, you still retain some element of choice over what you study. Normally you will have free choice over at least one or two second-year courses. You can choose to do more accounting and finance-related courses; or you can opt to study something completely different such as economics, maths, computing, law, languages, politics, etc.
- First, you are able to select from a wide range of advanced accounting and finance courses. This allows you to tailor your studies to suit your own particular interests: if you’re more interested in accounting then you can tilt the balance of your degree towards accounting-related subjects; if you prefer finance then you can tilt the balance towards finance-oriented courses.
- Second, you have the opportunity to take up to two courses offered by other departments. This gives you the chance to further develop skills in other areas that may either interest you or help you land your dream job.
