Overview
Effective, efficient and enthusiastic accounting professionals are central to the success of contemporary organisations. So you’ll be in high demand for roles in the public, private and third sectors with competitive salaries and excellent prospects for career progression.
Key Features
In the Accounting with a Professional Placement Year programme from Cardiff University , you’ll develop business and finance expertise from our team of international researchers and qualified accounting professionals. They’ll introduce you to financial and management accounting and corporate finance while encouraging you to consider the social, economic and ethical implications of your decisions.
Your Professional Placement Year is an opportunity to put your university knowhow into practice as you take up a paid accounting role and complement your academic study with exposure to real-world business scenarios.
Career
The track record speaks for itself. 97% of our students are in employment and/or further study within six months of graduating.
The dedicated career professionals have got you covered on things like industry placements, internships, work experience and insights.
You’ll benefit from career consultations, interview and CV writing workshops, industry-specific events and specialist psychometric assessment and broad skills training.
Placements
Students are responsible for finding their own placements, though support will be given by the School’s employability team. Students unable to secure a suitable placement will be permitted to transfer to the equivalent ‘non-placement’ programme, assuming the relevant academic requirements are met. Placements can be conducted in English or in Welsh.
