About Bachelor of Science - Accounting (N400)
What’s the difference between financial and management accounting? How can accountants help improve business for the better?
Accounting informs almost all areas of business, from strategy to outsourcing and operational planning to environmental policies. At Essex Business School, accounting means more than cutting costs and managing transactions. It’s vital for ensuring accountability by encouraging sound, ethical decision making so that students can make a positive impact in the workplace.
From an undergraduate accounting degree at the University of Essex, students gain a firm understanding of the financial drivers underpinning business leadership, strategy, planning, governance and ethics. Students explore both financial and management accounting and use case studies to apply theory to practice, skills which will be in an increasingly high demand from employers over the coming years.
Students will gain a broad understanding of accounting and benefit from academic expertise in a range of areas, studying topics such as:
- preparation and analysis of financial statements
- regulation in governing accounting practice
- principles of cost accumulation
- financial and management accounting theory
- providing information to managers to assist their decision making
The School ensures students gain a fully-rounded business education by introducing them to subjects such as finance, management, marketing and economics in the first year. In the second and final years, students can choose from selected optional modules to tailor the program to their accounting career aspirations.
In the final year of the accounting degree, students have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice by completing an in-depth, independent research project or dissertation. This will give them the chance to further develop vital employability skills in areas of research, time management and critical thinking.
Applicants have the opportunity to join an international community of students and staff, working to make organisations better places to do business.
