Do you want to gain expertise in accounting, business and management?
Accounting disclosures and financial reports are vital to business analysis and decision-making. They equip managers, owners and investors with highly valuable information to use in monitoring the effectiveness of a firm or organisation.
This joint degree programme will enable you to develop a broad understanding of the theory and practice of both disciplines, and will prepare you to apply your knowledge and skills to the workplace.
You will gain a sound understanding of accounting methods and financial management techniques designed to assess and improve company-level financial performance. Optional modules will cover a broad range of business and management subjects, including corporate governance, entrepreneurship, supply chains and business law.
This degree will challenge and inspire you, and provide you with an essential foundation for a future career in accounting, finance, banking or general management.
Queen Mary University of London is one of the few Russell Group universities in the UK to hold the triple accreditation status from the three leading global accounting professional bodies; the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Institute of Chartered Accounts in England and Wales (ICAEW) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
If you are taking an Integrated Foundation Year, this will take place before Year 1.
Please note that all modules are subject to change.
Any second year student wishing to take the Dissertation module in third year, must take the Research Methodology module in the second year.
Third year students can choose any four of the optional modules on offer in addition to the four compulsory modules, or they can take three modules in each semester, plus the dissertation module.
Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.
International students can apply for our Accounting and Management BSc with an Integrated Foundation Year. The foundation year prepares you for the rest of the programme and is taught on campus by Queen Mary lecturers.
“It is important to build your CV throughout your time at university. For instance, I interned with Lloyds Banking Group in the summer of my second year and it was an invaluable experience which I have been asked about in interviews I’ve had since. At Queen Mary, you can benefit from Careers Advisors who can help you with anything from applications and interview techniques to seeking advice from lecturers who are experts in their field.”
Teaching and research are based on three pillars: governance; social justice and sustainability; as well as the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).
