BA (Hons) Business Management with Marketing

About This Course

 


This programme is designed to equip students with an in-depth understanding and knowledge of accounting in business. BA (Hons) Business Management with Accounting gives you the opportunity to study common modules on this pathway, but also allows you to specialise with specific accounting modules. It also provides you with an overview of accounting, meaning you can pursue a variety of different roles in accounting after your degree.

You will also get the opportunity to choose between completing a dissertation or small business plan as your final year project; depending on how you want to specialise. The dissertation offers a more traditional route for students wishing to research a particular business area of interest, whereas the small business plan allows you to develop the skills to start your own business. The course gives you a holistic understanding of business and accounting which will prepare you for finding your own role in the business world; encouraging you to have an enterprising attitude and to create opportunity.
