  • pathways towards accountancy professional recognition
  • expertise in green finance, accounting, assurance/audit, pension and tax technologies
  • opportunities to specialise in an area of your interest
  • real-world projects and case studies from the University's business partners
  • talks by guest speakers from professional bodies such as HMRC and the NHS
  • workshops, networking and work placement opportunities

This course is suitable if you're considering a career in the public and third sectors, including:

  • tax authorities, such as HMRC
  • health, such as the NHS
  • local government, such as city and county councils
  • pensions, such as the Universities Superannuation Scheme

This course is also suitable if you're considering further accounting and taxation studies, such as a master's degree.
