BSc Finance and Accounting
About this course
Finance and accounting form the backbone of every organisation, providing the information and analytical frameworks that support investment decisions, resource allocation and accountability. Accounting is concerned with measuring and reporting financial performance, while finance addresses how capital is raised, deployed and valued. Together they shape how businesses, public bodies and investors understand and act on financial reality. Mastery of both disciplines opens doors across the full spectrum of professional and commercial life. At Brunel University London, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, giving you a thorough grounding in the quantitative, economic and business foundations before you move into the core content of the degree. You will study financial reporting and analysis, management accounting, corporate finance, investment principles and the regulatory frameworks that govern financial practice. The programme equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue professional qualifications in accountancy and to compete for roles across the financial sector. Brunel's location in London, one of the world's leading financial centres, gives the programme context and connectivity that enhances the academic experience. Graduates from finance and accounting degrees are well prepared for careers in public practice accounting, corporate finance, investment banking, financial analysis, treasury, audit and management consulting. The professional qualifications offered by major accountancy bodies are a natural next step for many graduates, and the degree is designed with those pathways in mind. Others move directly into finance roles in industry, the public sector or financial services, while some go on to postgraduate study in finance, accounting or business.
