Accounting and Financial Management (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

As well as gaining a solid grounding in global accounting, with this Accounting and Financial Management (Hons) programme offered by the University of Hull you’ll also discover how public, private and third-sector organisations are funded and accounted for. As well as how they, and their investors, manage their finances.

As part of our four-year course, you can gain real-world experience. Either through a built-in placement year or a year studying abroad. But whichever route you opt for, you’re guaranteed CV-boosting opportunities. Placements, internships, networking, mentoring, international summer schools… They’re all part of what we call Authentic Business Learning: our real-life, hands-on, hard-working approach to teaching. Which reminds us…You also get access to industry-standard facilities, like our Bloomberg Financial Markets Laboratory. Here, you practise trading in real time using databases like Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters EIKON, Orbis and FAME. Plus, there’s our Business Lounge. This is where you can meet and connect with professional industry networks, like-minded entrepreneurs, and our corporate partners.

As an accounting and financial management student, you’re a member of the Hull University Business School. We’re accredited by AACSB, which is held by fewer than 2% of business programmes worldwide. As well as all the main accountancy bodies: ACCA (also as an Accelerate Partner), CIMA (as a University Partner), CIPFA, ICAEW (as a Partner in Learning) AIA, CFA and CPA Australia.

Future prospects

You’ll open up a whole range of employment possibilities. Graduate roles include finance manager, chartered management accountant, financial analyst, external auditor, and bank manager. Or you could use the hands-on experience you gain throughout your degree to start your own business.
