2-Term Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Accounting and Finance

For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at City, University of London. 

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Students will become proficient in all areas of accounting and finance, from financial accounting and corporate finance to financial management, taxation and economics.

Students also have the highly valuable option of a study abroad sandwich year at one of City's highly-respected partner institutions across the world. In an increasingly globalised business environment, this is excellent preparation.

The Accounting and Finance degree is both highly selective and highly demanding. Students will be working hard for the rewards it delivers. The degree is delivered in strategic partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). By meeting the relevant criteria, BSc Accounting and Finance students can achieve up to eight exemptions from the ICAEW's Chartered Accountant qualification (ACA) and receive similar exemptions from other professional accountancy bodies.
