If you are currently employed in an accounting and finance role and are looking for a degree course that will take into account your previous learning, and which allows you to gain credit for your future learning through work, then this course is suitable for you.

What you study
The course consists of core modules, taught option modules and supervised independent study option modules.

How you learn
