会计经常被描述为商务语言，人们早已认识到，对于打算从事商业，工业或公共管理职业的人来说，对会计和金融的了解是必不可少的前提。在日益复杂的环境中开展金融和国际业务，以及计算机技术的发展和传播，继续加深了对这种理解的需求。专业会计和相关协会也认可此类研究的价值，这些协会为获批准的毕业生提供大量的考试豁免，并缩短了资格预审服务的期限。我们的会计和金融课程是专业学位，特别适合希望进入会计行业和从事金融服务或财务管理职业的人员。
Accountancy has often been described as the language of business, and it has long been recognised that an understanding of accounting and finance is an essential prerequisite for those who intend to pursue a career in commerce, industry or public administration. The increasingly complex environment within which both financial and international business is conducted and the development and spread of computerised techniques continue to reinforce the need for such an understanding. The value of such studies is also recognised by professional accountancy and allied societies, which offer, to approved graduates, substantial examination exemptions and reduced periods of pre-qualifying service. Our Accountancy and Finance programme is a specialist degree particularly well suited to those seeking entry into the accountancy profession and careers in financial services or financial management. It aims to encourage the development of cognitive skills so that students learn to apply their new knowledge and understanding as they progress, and become versed in the deeper approach to learning, using powers of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
