Accounting and Finance

Description

This course is so closely tied into real-world professional requirements that, when you’ve successfully completed it, you’ll be exempted from nine exam papers for an accountancy qualification from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

Sunderland is a top place to study accounting and finance, with the University being recognised by The Guardian University Guide 2012 as having the no.1 business school in the North East. 85% of business graduates from Sunderland enter employment or further study within 6 months of graduating, based on figures from the Destination of Higher Education Leavers Survey 2010.

Right from the start, you’ll notice Sunderland’s supportive atmosphere for your studies. There is a Getting Started programme (before you arrive), a Welcome Week where you get to know your tutors, planned one-to-one ‘programme time’ with the course leader, and support and advice from your personal tutor.

There are two start dates for this course: September and January. For more information please see the entry requirements page.
