Description:

Combine the study of accounting, finance and economics to develop the skills demanded by the modern accountancy profession and the financial sector. You gain a thorough understanding of accountancy as well as wider issues such as economic growth, sustainable development and international trade.

Kent Business School has expert accounting staff from the business world and our links with global businesses ensure that our teaching is always internationally relevant. Our academics in Kent’s School of Economics are exciting and innovative teachers who place a particular emphasis on making economics applicable to the real world.

Our teaching methods are varied; you take part in workshops, individual and team presentations, and use case studies to apply the theory to actual companies.

Our degree programme

In your first year, you are introduced to the fundamentals of financial accounting as well as economic theory and practice. You learn about different methods of analysis including statistics and econometrics which are relevant to all three subject areas.

In your second year of study, you further expand your knowledge in these areas.

In your final year of study, you can choose from a wide range of different modules allowing you to develop specialist knowledge on topics such as financial crises, monetary economics, taxation and auditing.

Year in industry

As part of this degree, you take a compulsory paid business placement between your second and final years. The placement runs for at least 44 weeks and starts between June and September, following your second-year examinations. Placements develop your skills and knowledge and increase your employability. Find out more about the placement year with the Kent Business School.

It is possible to take this as a three-year programme, without the Year in Industry. See Accounting and Finance and Economics BSc (Hons) for more information.
