This four-year professionally accredited course offers not only a fully integrated degree that combines accounting and management subjects but also the opportunity to do a professional placement in your third year. The course aims to equip you with the attributes needed to pursue a wide range of accounting, consulting, and managerial career paths as a future organisational decision-maker. You will develop not only your ability to interpret, assess, and communicate financial and non-financial data but also transferrable skills needed in modern societies.
During the first two years, you will develop sound knowledge and understanding of accounting practices, financial management techniques, and contemporary theories and practices of management and organisational behaviour.
The placement year in a financial environment in an accounting firm or an organisation in another industry will enhance your understanding of the areas of accounting and management encountered in your studies. You will also develop an understanding of how an organisation operates and learn to take on responsibility within a team.
You will return to Bristol for your final year to study the disciplines of accounting and management in more depth. Beyond the core units, you can specialise by choosing from an evolving range of accounting and management units. The course will allow you to sharpen your ability to think critically and challenge received information. You will also develop the key interpersonal skills needed for success in your professional career.
This course provides rewarding opportunities to participate in a summer internship and the Bristol PLUS Award. You'll also benefit from the Professional Liaison Network within the faculty, which runs a professional mentoring scheme with alumni, insight talks, and internships.
This course is available by transfer; you can apply to BSc Accounting and Management and register your interest to add a professional placement once you have joined us. Placement opportunities are based on first-year examination results and a successful application to a participating employer.
For the first 2 years of this course, teaching is delivered on the Clifton Campus where you will gain a thorough understanding of your subject. You will then undertake a placement in industry during your third year. For the final year of the course, teaching will be delivered at the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, opening 2026, where enhanced links with businesses will provide students with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate.
This course is currently undergoing its scheduled five-year re-accreditation process with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). It has previously been ACCA accredited for the purpose of exemptions from some professional examinations. The outcome of the current review is expected by July 2026.
