Our Accounting and Finance degree equips you with the relevant skills and knowledge to pursue a career in accountancy, finance, banking and a wide range of management roles. The programme has been designed specifically to provide you with maximum exemptions from internationally recognised accounting professional body examinations, giving you a head start when it comes to qualifying as an accountant. In addition to your academic studies, you will also be trained in the use of accounting software, analytical skills, report writing, and further employability skills which will enable you to better adapt to the rapidly changing environment of work. You will have the opportunity to take an optional placement year providing valuable workplace experience and significantly improving your employability on graduation. In addition, during your studies you will have the opportunity to meet with accounting and business practitioners through guest lectures and other special events. **ACCA Accredited** The University of Wolverhampton has recently partnered with ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) in their Accelerate programme, which allows final year students an accelerated path to ACCA membership, enhanced career prospects, discounted fees, and access to the global ACCA community to provide practical assistance with studies and future career. The degree can also be used as the basis for postgraduate study. For example, the Business School has an MSc Professional Accounting and Finance which provides an opportunity for you to both complete your ACCA qualifications and also gain a Master's in Accounting and Finance within an 18-month period. You will be in a unique position of having an excellent academic and professional qualification taught by market leaders in both fields, giving you the knowledge and ability to succeed in the world of finance. **Modern Facilities** This award is taught in our Lord Swraj building, named after our Chancellor.
