3-Semester Pathway - Foundation Pathway in Accounting and Finance - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Accounting

Program Description This programme provides students who have an interest in accounting or finance with a solid academic background which will prepare them for the workplace or postgraduate training. Students will acquire key technical accounting and finance skills and will also develop their knowledge of a broad range of topics which will enable them not only to understand financial information but also how to link it to broader decision-making. The Accounting and Finance programme at Swansea University can provide up to 9 exemptions from the ACCA professional accreditation, the maximum exemptions available from a UK academic degree.

This Accounting course is fully designed to make students stand out in the job market, for all the right reasons. Practical skills, combined with pioneering, research-based teaching, will give students the real-world know-how backed by essential knowledge, to become a sought-after graduate - for jobs in accounting firms as well as accounting roles within any organisation, across any sector.

Accounting at Swansea is a flexible degree with the chance to study abroad for a year, or work in industry for a year. This can give students a real competitive advantage and will broaden their horizons when it comes to seeking employment. The student's Accounting experience will also benefit from a wide selection of optional modules in later years of study, allowing students to shape the degree towards their career goals. Teaching at Swansea is partly informed by research, and staff have hands-on experience of theory and practice, meaning students can benefit from their academic expertise and real-world know-how.
