Gain a solid grounding in finance and accounting areas of business. Develop the knowledge and skills for a career in accounting, finance and many other sectors.
Accounting and finance professionals are important to almost all functions of business. You’ll learn how to apply your numerical abilities to real-life situations.
Your first year covers the fundamentals of economics, finance and accounting. These core principles will give you context for the rest of your course. You'll also learn about business as part of society, and the related social and environmental responsibilities.
Continue to specialise in accounting and finance. Compulsory units will equip you with the knowledge and skills you’ll need for a financial career. You’ll also be able to choose from a range of optional units. These let you explore other areas of interest.
Focus on advanced level accounting and/or finance and explore other areas of interest.
Prepare for the career you want with our Professional Development Programme (PDP). PDP includes training and workshops to improve your skills in areas like:
If your course includes a placement, PDP will help you find a relevant role and make the most of your year.
On our three year course, PDP is only available in Year 1.

Many of our graduates continue their studies and go into academic or research careers.
BSc Accounting and Management is a new course and we don’t have any career data yet. But our graduates on comparable courses have an excellent record. 15 months after their course, our business and management graduates have an average salary of £32,500 - £7,500 higher than the UK average (Discover Uni, 2024).
Before you apply for a course, please check the website for the most recently published course detail.
We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

Read more about the School of Management placement schemeThese lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Timetabled contact hours, which can be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between ten and 20 hours a week.
Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.
The amount of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
As well as timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment. Typically, this might be around 20 to 25 hours per week, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After Year 1, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater.
The mix of assessment methods will vary throughout your course and according to your option choices but overall you will experience a broad balance between examinations and coursework.
The final degree classification is determined by your second and final year marks and each contributes 32% and 68% respectively.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams.
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
