Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Accounting (N423)

Today’s professionals need an understanding of business and the role of accounting, law, strategy, economics, statistics and finance in professional decision-making. This course will help students develop that valuable skillset. It provides them with specialized knowledge in the area of accounting, as well as the professional, intellectual and inter-personal skills that employers are looking for.

If students opt to include the 30-week placement as part of their course, they’ll gain invaluable workplace experience and can see how everything they’ve learned translates into the real world. They’ll also be creating a useful network of professional contacts at the same time.

Students will meet leading industry practitioners and professionals through fieldwork, seminars, assessment activities and presentations. The IBM Challenge, a series of simulated business exercises to which hundreds of teams of university students compete in three rounds, will give them the opportunity to further develop their employability competencies and meet potential employers.

To add a truly international aspect to their studies, students can also study abroad at one of Bournemouth's partner institutions during the second semester of the second year. Currently Bournemouth has partners in Australia, Canada and Europe.
