Your transformation from student to professional accounting graduate begins here. You will develop professional, in demand, accounting and finance skills through practical application and real business experiences. The course is accredited by ICAEW, CIMA, ACCA, CIPFA and you will secure major exemptions from the examinations of these key professional accounting bodies as you progress. This ensures that once you have graduated it will take you less time to become qualified as an accountant.
Student membership of CIMA is provided and all students can undertake a standalone CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting at the end of first year. This is an opportunity to be awarded a professional qualification before even leaving university. Graduates are also eligible to become a member of AAT once they have acquired the relevant experience.
