The programme.

The B.Sc. Accounting produces graduates with technical accounting expertise, analytical judgement and digital fluency, three things the profession increasingly requires together rather than in sequence.

The syllabus follows international reporting standards and prepares students for professional examination, but it does not stop there. Students learn to build and audit the systems that produce the numbers, not only to interpret the output.

Two industrial placements put students inside finance functions before they graduate, which is where the difference between a textbook reconciliation and a real one becomes obvious.
