Program Description

This is a dual honours course, which means students will spend roughly half the time in the partner department, Economics. Students will get a good grounding in both subjects, plus the chance to study specific areas in more detail. The subjects are given equal weighting. The way the department teaches the accounting and financial management side is the same, in principle, as the single honours course (Accounting and Financial Management). Students take a lot of the same modules as a single honours student.

Because students are studying two subjects, they don't get to look at accounting, financial management or economics in as much detail as they would on the single honours degrees, but the quality of their education is the same. The two subjects complement each other, which opens up even more career opportunities.
