Summary

Accounting and financial expertise is highly valued whatever career you choose and is crucial to any organisation. Our accounting and finance course will take you beyond the numbers, learning how to read the story they tell is vital. You will learn core streams such as financial reporting, corporate finance and management accounting.

Kickstart your accounting and finance journey with practical insights and key skills to prepare you for a successful career in finance, with analytical, digital, problem-solving and reporting skills alongside know-how in leadership and critical evaluation.

Immerse yourself in account management, financial reporting and business operations, building on your knowledge year-by-year. Hone your practical mathematical techniques alongside core analytical skills, to make numerical based decisions.

Bring your learning to life through interactive sessions, simulations and group exercises, combining tried and tested theories, emerging new techniques, and the latest practitioner inputs and experiences. To advance in the workplace, you must complement your technical knowledge with vital interpersonal, communication and specialist soft skills required in accounting and finance. The accounting and finance degree at Herts follows a similar path to the BA (Hons) Accounting and offers a stronger focus on corporate finance and business decisions if you already know where your career pathway lies.
