BSc Accounting and Management

This three-year professionally accredited course offers a fully integrated degree that combines accounting and management subjects. It aims to equip you with the attributes needed to pursue a wide range of accounting, consulting, and managerial career paths as a future organisational decision-maker. You will develop not only your ability to interpret, assess, and communicate financial and non-financial data but also transferable skills needed in modern societies. Through the study of the core units, you will develop sound knowledge and understanding of accounting and financial management techniques and the key and contemporary theories and practices of management and organisational behaviour. Beyond the core units, you will have opportunities to specialise, choosing from an evolving range of accounting and management units. The course will allow you to sharpen your ability to think critically and challenge received information. You will also develop the key interpersonal skills needed for success in your professional career. This course provides rewarding opportunities to participate in a summer internship and the Bristol PLUS Award. You'll also benefit from the Professional Liaison Network within the faculty, which runs a professional mentoring scheme with alumni, insight talks, and internships. You can extend your degree to four years by applying to transfer to our four-year professional placement course or spend a year studying abroad in English during your third year. For the first 2 years of this course, teaching is delivered on the Clifton Campus where you will gain a thorough understanding of your subject. For the final year of the course, teaching will be delivered at the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, opening 2026, where enhanced links with businesses will provide students with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate. This course is currently undergoing its scheduled five-year re-accreditation process with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). It has previously been ACCA accredited for the purpose of exemptions from some professional examinations. The outcome of the current review is expected by July 2026.
