What is an Accounting & Finance degree?

An Accounting & Finance degree focuses on the management of monetary resources available to an organization. Such a degree is aimed at students who want to pursue careers in investment analysis, management, banking, auditing, consulting and financial management. It teaches students how to assess the assets and liabilities of an organization financially and manage the financial risk of their activity.

Accounting & Finance covers the core areas of financial accounting, management accounting and finance but also includes other aspects of the business activity, such as financial management and control, corporate finance, company accounts, investment and business law. Optional module options provided by different universities around the world often allow students to specialize in a particular area such as auditing, taxation, etc.

Benefits of an Accounting & Finance degree

The completion of an Accounting & Finance degree comes along with numerous benefits. Students develop strong analytical, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are highly demanded by employers in both the private and the public sector and result in graduates often finding employment in large multinational organizations that offer professional services such as PwC, KPMG and Deloitte. On top of that, established companies around the world offer excellent and well-structured graduate schemes, which help Accounting & Finance graduates to kick-start their careers.

Accounting & Finance degrees are mostly practically oriented. They allow students to put the knowledge and skills they acquire on a daily basis to practice through simulated and real-life business accounts management and work placement opportunities.

Most Accounting & Finance degrees are professionally accredited by professional bodies, such as ACCA, AIA, CIMA, ICAEW and CIPFA, which provides students with the opportunity to become chartered accountants. Students gain professional qualifications in accountancy, which eliminates the need for additional certifications after graduation.

Due to the nature of the Accounting & Finance Degree, which complements business-related subjects, students often have the opportunity to complete a joint honours degree.

Accounting & Finance Degree Structure

An Accounting & Finance degree’s duration varies depending on the country and degree level. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, Bachelor’s degrees in Accounting & Finance can be completed in three years. However, universities also offer students the option to take a sandwich course, which allows them to undertake a year-long placement between their second and third year, which extends the course to four years. Four years is the regular time of completion of this degree in other countries, such as the United States.

The first year of a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting & Finance introduces the core principles of accounting and finance, including financial accounting, management accounting and finance as well as economics and business law. The second year’s focus is usually on managerial and business economics, financial control, corporate finance and company accounts, but optional modules might enable students to pursue their interests in other aspects of Accounting & Finance such as auditing or strategic business analysis. At this point, students studying at Higher Education Institutions in the UK could choose to take an industry placement in order to apply the theoretical concepts and the acquired knowledge to practice in the professional environment. The next stage of this degree is dedicated to further-developing students’ knowledge of financial and management accounting. Optional modules might enable students to specialize in a particular area of their choice such as auditing or taxation in some countries like the UK.

Masters’ degrees in Accounting & Finance usually take between 12 and 18 months to complete depending on the country that students choose for their studies. 

Research-based degrees, such as MPhil and PhD, can take anywhere between 1 and 7 years depending on the country and type of degree. MPhil degrees in Accounting & Finance in the UK usually take 12 months if it is studied full-time and 24 months for part-time studies. PhD degrees in the UK, on the other hand, take about 36 months to complete if studying full-time and 72 months for a part-time program. In the US, students may be required to dedicate between 4 and 7 years on their degree.

    IBPM3 International Student

    The IBPM3 program for me at Rennes School of Business is everything in a bachelor program I can ask for. From the high-class academics to the international community at the school, there is nothing else to ask for. I am specializing in Finance & Banking, and my finance courses were very intriguing and taught me much about financial markets and companies.

    The international community at RSB is not like any other school. I have met people from all over the world, and it actually becomes a norm for students at school to be meeting someone from a different country. This is not just a business school, but an international business school.

    Lastly, the school will be there for you whenever you need them. They have an online student support website, “Aloha,” and many faculty to support you for whatever you may wish in your education.

    Great school with great opportunities

    Ever since I got into Rennes SB I’ve felt like I have a handful of tools to develop my professional careers besides just my classes. The school really cares about your development and placement in the workforce and has special teams that help you to do so.

    Additionally, the professors I’ve had are just great. They are experts in their fields that really challenge
    you and push you to learn.

    Another thing I love is the multiculturalism there is in my classmates, as most of them come from different countries and backgrounds so it’s really interesting to know them.

    Long, long lessons!

    RSB is an amazing University – it’s really multicultural and really pretty. However, the lessons are 3 hours long, with a 10-minute break in between, meaning that you have extremely long days! usually from around 8am – 6:30! However, the education quality is amazing and definitely really interesting – I loved all my lecturers and their English was all extremely high quality!

    The actual University is beautiful – palm trees in building 1 and then just really nice open spaces for building 2 and 3. It’s an amazing university experience!
