Course Information

The BA Accounting and Finance programme is a Single Honours degree that will enable students to specialise in accountancy within the broader context of studying finance. Whilst it is a strongly vocational subject, accounting draws upon principles from a range of the social sciences, including economics, finance and law.

The strength of the accounting and finance course at Keele is that it offers students the opportunity to gain a firm grounding in accountancy and finance whilst allowing them to tailor their studies to their individual requirements and interests through a series of options in the second and third years.

The BA Accounting and Finance degree provides exemptions to a number of Association of Chartered and Certified Accountants (ACCA) papers and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) papers.
