Accounting and Finance University of Reading

Overview

On this Accounting and Finance degree offered by the University of Reading you'll obtain a critical grasp of core accounting and finance theory as well as sound technical knowledge. You'll also gain a thorough understanding of the role of accounting and finance in business and society.

Key facts

You’ll develop your understanding of the operation of the financial system and capital markets, and you’ll have the opportunity to apply the theory learned in the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Centre’s dealing rooms - the most extensive non-investment bank facilities of their kind in Europe - using computer trading simulations and spreadsheet modelling. 

Through this course, you can build credit towards qualification as a chartered accountant – with either ACCA, ICAEW or CIMA.

We also offer two other variations of this course: BSc Accounting and Finance with Placement Experience, a four-year course with a year spent on work placement, and BSc Accounting and Finance with Year Abroad, a four-year course with a year spent studying abroad instead of on work placement.

Another opportunity for our Accounting and Finance students is the option to transfer to our campus in Malaysia for one year. Based in Johor Bahru, a financial and logistics hub in Malaysia, and near to the border with Singapore, our campus provides an exciting opportunity to study and explore South East Asia. The courses in the UK and Malaysia are the same, meaning you won’t have to undertake an extra year of study. This offers you a fascinating cultural experience, international perspective and the added bonus of reduced fees for that year.
