Why accounting?

Accounting studies give you the tools to understand how and why key business decisions are made, and how to have input into those decisions.

Having a qualification in accounting will open doors to career opportunities within:

  • finance and accounting
  • information technology
  • marketing
  • human resource management
  • e-commerce
  • international business
  • economics
  • running your own business
  • management
  • strategy and business development

In the majority of degrees you will have the option to include accounting studies.

If you want to be a finance and accounting specialist, you will play a key role in managing the money. If you want to specialise in another business discipline, a knowledge of accounting will be a great help to you.

Graduates with accounting qualifications will find there is a greater range of employers than for any other business discipline. Accounting qualifications are easily transferable from one employer to another.
