Accounting & Finance<br />
Bachelor of Business<br />
What is the programme about?<br />
This programme is a one year add-on degree programme designed for students who wish to build on previous<br />
learning. It is both a qualification in its own right and a stepping stone to the Level 8 (Honours) Degree in<br />
Accounting & Finance. It is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in professional accountancy,<br />
finance, management, banking and the financial services industry. It offers students a contemporary approach<br />
to accounting and finance, focusing on the exploration of key practical and theoretical issues in accounting,<br />
auditing, management accounting, taxation, company law and people management. It also allows students to<br />
develop highly desirable transferable skills including analytical thinking and problem-solving skills as well<br />
enabling you to think logically and quantitatively.<br />
This degree programme is both professionally and managerially oriented and is recognised by leading<br />
professional accountancy bodies including: CAI, ACCA, CIMA, CPA and IIPA.<br />
Who is the programme suited to?<br />
This programme is primarily designed for those students who have a previous qualification in Accounting and<br />
Finance, such as the Higher Certificate in Business in Accounting and Finance (Level 6) and/or other equivalent<br />
qualifications to a Higher Certificate (Level 6) with appropriate pre-requisite subjects. Holders of qualifications<br />
in accounting such as IATI and CAT (ACCA) may also be considered for entry to this programme.<br />
Modules<br />
Financial Accounting, Management Accounting and Operations Research, Taxation, Company Law, Auditing<br />
and Forensic Accounting, People Management Theory and Practice.<br />
What can I do after the programme?<br />
Our graduates often choose to join an accountancy firm or large company to complete their accountancy<br />
training, while others use their expertise within financial services or branch out into more general management<br />
roles. If you wish to widen your focus to industry and commerce in areas such as banking, insurance and<br />
funds management this relevant and practical degree will put you to the forefront re. employability.<br />
Graduates will also have the opportunity to immediately progress to the Level 8 honours degree programme in<br />
Accounting and Finance offered at <strong>LIT</strong> (Moylish). Graduates, may, alternatively choose to pursue Professional<br />
Accountancy examinations. The list of exemptions is reviewed annually by the professional accountancy<br />
bodies and is subject to change, due to ongoing revisions to their professional syllabi. We seek to continue to<br />
secure existing or corresponding exemptions but this cannot be guaranteed. You are therefore advised to refer<br />
regularly to the relevant professional accountancy body's website and to note that exemptions are awarded at<br />
their discretion.<br />
