Accounting and Economics

About this course

Accounting and economics together provide a comprehensive view of how financial decisions are made and how they connect to the broader workings of markets, institutions, and national economies. Accounting gives you the tools to prepare, present, and interpret financial information that enables investors, lenders, managers, employees, and governments to make sound decisions. Economics gives you the theoretical and empirical frameworks to understand why markets behave as they do, how policy shapes economic outcomes, and what happens when systems come under pressure. The two disciplines are genuinely complementary: accountants need economic context, and economists need to understand financial measurement. At the University of Strathclyde this four-year programme includes a year abroad, offering you the opportunity to study in another country and to encounter different approaches to account
