If you’ve only studied up to GCSE Level but have always aspired to working in accounting or finance, we pride ourselves on accepting applicants who have previously ruled out a degree based on their past grades. In your first year, you’ll complete four foundation year modules designed to prepare you for the next three years, covering study skills and an introduction to accounting and financial management. After this, you’ll study the theory and practice of accounting and financial management. You’ll develop an understanding of ethical principles and dilemmas to create effective solutions. Our course is designed to develop your employability skills, such as evaluation of data and how best to use contemporary information and communications technology. You’ll learn how to use leading accounting software used in the workplace, and the most up-to-date knowledge on tax and accounting standards. TAKE OUR ENTRY QUIZ Teaching and Learning Please note: our courses are taught face-to-face, and we plan to deliver all classes in-person. Depending on Government guidelines and Covid-19 restrictions, we may have to hold classes online. If you are an international applicant and you are unable to travel to the UK because of Covid-19 restrictions, you will be able to start the course online – click here for further information. Throughout your studies you’ll be taught via three methods: lectures, workshops and seminars. Expect to hear interesting talks, participate in debate and conversation and apply your knowledge in a practical way. Assessments come in a mix of formats, also depending on your chosen options. These include essays, portfolios, exams, reports, group presentations and case studies. We use a range of new and traditional assessment methods to allow you to explore and express your abilities. They are not just a way of assessing whether something has been learned, but an opportunity to develop skills that will equip you in your life outside of university. We aim to provide all the support you need to make sure you have the confidence and understanding to engage with your assessments. Our tutors are specialists in providing support to students who may feel unconfident in an academic environment. Assessment and feedback are designed to make sure our teaching is effective. We adapt our teaching and learning methods to suit you, offering you a high quality and stimulating educational experience. To pass modules in this course and ensure you have gained the professional body (ACCA and CIMA) exemptions, you must obtain a minimum grade of F+ in each assessment and a minimum overall grade of D- for the module. If you obtain a D- overall but have one item of assessment with lower than an F+, you will have passed the module, but not gained the exemptions. HOW TO APPLY ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Five GCSEs at Grade C/4 (or equivalent), including English Language and Maths. International equivalent qualifications may also be accepted. If you do not meet these entry requirements, you can take our assessments and attend an interview. If you pass, you can be admitted to the course. We do not charge a fee for this. If you are an international student, you will need to pass a Secure English Language Test (SELT) approved by the UKVI unless you are exempt. You must have completed Year 11 (Key Stage 4) at least 2 years before you start the course. This would normally mean that you will be 18 years old or above when you start.

Modules Accreditations and Employability Our course is accredited by both ACCA and CIMA – studying with us will grant exemptions from 9/13 ACCA and 8/13 CIMA modules. We offer the maximum number of ACCA exemptions – you’ll struggle to find this across other universities. This means you’ll not only save time but money too. If you dream of becoming a Chartered or Management Accountant, this is one of the quickest ways to achieve your goal. You can also benefit from free student membership to ACCA and CIMA, unlocking online communities, free resources and career support services. At the end of your chosen course, you will be well equipped to work within banking and finance, accounting practice, business and tax consultancy. Of course, other industries and roles are well suited to the skills and knowledge you will gain, and further study is a popular and recommended route for many.
