The course allows you to develop the vital skills needed to manage finance, people and information, while gaining a specialised body of knowledge in accounting.

Management involves the process of leading or directing an organisation, and making decisions concerning the deployment of resources. During the course you will study the principles of management, and develop commercial awareness, leadership, communication and presentation skills.

Accounting has been defined as the measurement and disclosure of financial information that is used by managers, investors and others to make decisions about the allocation of resources within organisations.

The methods for preparing accounting information must be applied with judgement, and with an understanding of the purposes for which the information will be used. A degree in Management with Accounting will enable you to understand the key principles which underpin a cost or profit figure produced by an accountant, and to appreciate the implications of accounting data for managerial decision making.

This programme is accredited by the ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), the global body for professional accountants. The number of examination exemptions will depend on choice of optional modules, but could be up to a maximum of seven. The programme is also accredited by the CIMA (the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) which means students could be entitled to claim exemptions for up to eight of their professional examinations.

During your course you will study within a multidisciplinary School that employs specialists across a broad range of business subjects, including accounting, banking, finance, economics, management, marketing and entrepreneurship.
All single honours students taking degrees within Bangor Business School follow the same modules in year 1, so you are allowed to change to another Business School degree anytime up to the start of year 2.
