Accounting with a European Language (BSc)

UCAS Code:

  • N410 BSc/AcEuLa with French

4 years (Full-time) / n/a (Part-time) / n/a (Distance / E-Learning)

As the European Union develops, language skills are becoming increasingly attractive to both students and employers. The degree in Accounting with a European Language combines the main elements of an Accounting degree with French, German or Spanish. The first year provides the essential accounting and related modules that form the basis of a degree in Accounting together with one module in the chosen language.

Year 2 covers core elements of Accounting, but gives equal weight to the study of the language element. The study of translation and oral skills provides an ideal preparation for the third year which is spent abroad. During their year at a University abroad, students will be taught in the language they are studying as part of their degree.

In the fourth year, when they return to Cardiff, students will concentrate on Accounting modules, while taking one module in their chosen language to retain the competency which they have acquired during the year abroad. In addition to taking the core modules, students have the opportunity to choose modules in areas where they have a particular interest, such as investment analysis, public sector accounting or international business.

Student Views

I really enjoyed studying Economics at A-level and was aware that Cardiff Business School has a really good reputation and a nice atmosphere. I am enjoying the challenge of learning new skills in Economics and the lecturers make the subject interesting and easy to understand. Cardiff Business School is really friendly and the socials help you to get to know everyone.

In his spare time Richard plays American Football for Cardiff Cobras.
