Prospective Students

Accounting and Management (BSc Econ)

Students on the Joint Honours Accounting and Management degree programme study the main elements of each of these disciplines. In year one a series of compulsory modules ensures that students gain a solid foundation of knowledge in core areas such as Professional Accounting and Information Management, Industrial Society, Marketing and Strategy, Economics, Quantitative Analysis and Research Methods, Management and Legal Studies. Equal weighting is given to each discipline in year one and throughout the course.

Years two and three are slightly more flexible, as is the case with other degree programmes in Cardiff Business School. In addition to the four compulsory modules in each year, students can select from a number of optional modules depending upon their particular interests and career aspirations. The four compulsory modules in both years are currently Business Finance, Strategic Management, Financial Accounting and Management Accounting. Sample optional modules include International Business, Marketing Theory, Marketing Management, Human Resource Management, Employment Relations, Business Ethics and Advertising, Communication and Promotion Management.

We pride ourselves on the flexibility of our programmes and you will be able to change between degree programmes offered by the Business School at the start of the course. Therefore you do not need to apply for more than one degree programme offered by Cardiff Business School. The only exceptions to this are programmes that include the study of a European language, BSc Economics (L100) and BScEcon Economics and Finance (LN13).
