Accounting and Management with Study Abroad

Accounting and management is a professionally grounded combination that brings together the financial discipline of accounting with the strategic and operational knowledge of management, producing graduates who are equipped to work at the intersection of financial reporting, analysis, and organisational decision-making. The combination is particularly valuable in a business world where financial understanding and managerial effectiveness are increasingly expected to go hand in hand, and where organisations need professionals who can interpret financial data and act on it.

This four-year programme at the University of Bristol is professionally accredited and includes a year abroad at one of the university's partner universities, broadening your perspective on accounting and management practice in an international context. You will study the principles and practice of financial and management accounting alongside the strategic, organisational, and operational aspects of management, developing both your ability to interpret and communicate financial and non-financial data and the broader transferable skills demanded by modern organisations. The accreditation the programme carries provides direct credit toward professional accountancy qualifications, giving you a head start on the path to professional membership.

Graduates are well placed for careers in accountancy, audit, financial analysis, management consultancy, corporate finance, and management roles across a wide range of sectors. The professional accreditation opens clear routes to qualification through major accountancy bodies. The management skills you develop alongside the accounting expertise are particularly valued in roles that require both financial and organisational understanding, including business development, financial control, and senior management positions.

Further study at postgraduate level in accounting, finance, or business is also an option.
