Introduction

The BSc in Accounting and Finance programme has been designed for those business students who wish to pursue a career in accounting and finance but at the same time provides these students with a general business education. One of the School of Management’s main aims is to address major challenges for business and society such

BSc Accounting and Finance 10-11-14.docx Page 1

as global responsibility and sustainable development. Accordingly, the School seeks to prepare students who are able to contribute in an effective manner to debates about sustainable development and critically appraise the relationship(s) between the social, economic and environmental dimensions. Our intention is to nurture students who can apply the principles of sustainable development in their professional capacity. Whilst there are a number of individual modules that focus specifically on sustainability issues (eg MAN0908M Sustainable Operations Management, MAN0812M Ethics in Business and Society), awareness of the importance and principles of sustainability is emphasised in many others. Similarly, whilst there are a number of modules specifically designed to develop those personal transferable skills that will increase your attractiveness to future employers (e.g. MAN0116M Student Self Development, MAN2012L Employability and Enterprise Skills and MAN3041L You in the Workplace), employability is an over-arching theme across the programme and many of the modules will develop your employability skills in different ways.

The BSc Accounting and Finance programme of study combines academic rigour with practicality and relevance for business and management in industry and commerce. A fundamental aim of the programme is to add value to the contribution students make to their organisations. Added value is evidenced for all students as they apply their learning in the future.

The degree programme offers many exemptions from professional examinations for the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and Association of International Accountants (AIA) professional exams and the CPA Australia.

Placement YearYou will have the opportunity to do a one year work placement, if you opt for the 4 year degree. Work placements are extremely valuable in helping students to develop their understanding of all aspects of business. Historically, students who have undertaken a placement year attain higher degree classifications and improved graduate employment prospects. You are responsible for finding a placement, but you are fully supported by our dedicated work placements team who will advertise placement vacancies, help you with applications, CV writing, interview techniques and preparing for your time in work. There are regular visits to the School of Management by representatives of both local and national companies, looking to recruit graduates. There are also great opportunities for students to do shorter internships (6 or 8 weeks) or in-company projects and many of these specifically seek accounting and finance students. In the past year we have had students undertaking accounting and finance jobs for a number of local firms. All of these opportunities give you good exposure to accounting and finance in practice, and add a valuable (and valued) dimension to your CV. Should you choose a work placement year you can undertake a 20 credit bearing module in work-based learning. This module requires students to apply taught concepts from the programme to real work based experiences. The module credits will count towards your final year of study and thereby reduce the amount of studying you have to undertake towards the end of your degree.

Study AbroadYou can opt to study abroad in one of over 20 partner institutions, ranging from Canada and the USA to Holland, France, Spain, Sweden, India, Oman and more. You will be taught in English and your credits can be transferred to your degree credits here.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies

The approach to teaching and learning aims to integrate applied and theoretical knowledge, taking into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the mode of study and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the programme.

Stage 1 of the programme contains only core modules and provides the foundation level understanding to support the attainment of learning outcomes 1 to 8. During Stage 1 core knowledge and understanding of business and management will be introduced


(LO1-5) to support the broader application and understanding of these issues for those who undertake the Accounting and Finance programme. Alongside these. key graduate learner skills including communication and the correct sourcing, use of and presentation of information including referencing will be introduced. Such skills will enable you to write in an academic manner (LO6) and begin to reflect on the value and usefulness of the information (LO5) with which you are presented, engage in team working (LO7) and consider your future career paths (LO8).

Stage 2 contains 110 credits of core modules. This is where the Accounting and Finance student develops their subject specialisms. MAN2907L Financial Accounting, MAN2908L Management Accounting, MAN0405M Financial Management and MAN2909M Capital Markets, Investment and Finance, all allow the student to gain levels of critical understanding in their subject discipline area (LO9, 10, 12, 14), whilst MAN2011M Business Law continues the development of theory and provides more specialist knowledge to underpin business decision making (LO11). MAN2012L Employability and Enterprise Skills supports the attainment of core transferable skills such as problem solving and career enhancement (LO13, 15, 16). During Stage 2 of the programme you begin to develop specialist knowledge and understanding of the key disciplines, and are encouraged to critically review the current theory and its practical applications through both your core subject specialisms and your option choice (LO9, 11 and 13).

During Stage 2 you will also encounter a wide variety of assessments that build and test graduate attributes (LO14, 15 and 16).

As a Stage 3 student, you will be prepared to demonstrate your ability as an independent learner. For the final stage, advanced specialist knowledge in accounting and finance gained via the 80 credits of core modules. You will be presented with teaching materials, methods and assessment strategies that will require you to be more evaluative and critical of theory and utilise problem solving skills (LO 17, 18, 19), often in relation to advanced accounting techniques, or business scenarios for your optional modules.

Graduate transferable skills will be gained as you research and present information in depth (LO21) and communicate this effectively, either individually (LO21) or as part of a group (LO23).

Methods of assessment are varied and linked to learning requirements. They will include closed and open book examinations, essays, programme work, case studies, practical exercises, computer assisted assessment, group work and presentations. There are various opportunities for formative feedback, for example in tutorials, via programme work feedback, feedback from formative online quizzes, interactive learning software, and online discussion forums.
