Accounting and Finance (with Professional Exemptions) (Hons) University of Sunderland

Overview

The Accounting and Finance (with Professional Exemptions) (Hons) programme of the University of Sunderland  has long been a popular choice because of its excellent career prospects. The course is so closely tied into real-world professional requirements that, when you've successfully completed it, you'll be exempt from exam papers from three professional accounting bodies. These include papers from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Certified Practicing Accountants (CPA) Australia.

Part-time option

If you choose to study part-time, we will endeavour to ensure you are not on-campus for more than two days a week, plus independent study.

Career ready

Many students on this course will be considering a career as a professional accountant, whether as a financial accountant or a management accountant. A financial accountant will typically work for many different clients, while a management accountant is employed by just one organisation and has a say in the running of that organisation. Business graduates from Sunderland have secured roles with organisations including Facebook, Microsoft, Sage, HSBC, IBM, Enterprise, Nissan, Accenture, Procter & Gamble, Nissan, Marriott Hotels, Viacom 18, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Adidas.
