Accounting and Taxation

About this course

Taxation is one of the most practically consequential areas of professional life, shaping the decisions of individuals, businesses and governments. Accounting provides the framework for measuring and reporting financial information, and the two disciplines are closely intertwined: tax liabilities flow from accounting transactions, tax strategy depends on financial understanding, and the regulatory environment governing both continues to grow in complexity. Studying them together gives you a degree that is directly relevant to professional practice from the outset. At the University of Southampton, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year in industry and a work placement, giving you hands-on professional experience alongside your academic studies. You will develop both practical and theoretical knowledge across accounting, audit, taxation and public sector accounting,
