Accounting is one of the backbones of the modern world, and the backbone of business. Behind every successful company is a skilled accountant – who understands how to use their knowledge of finance, mathematics, statistics, and economics to grow a business. Accounting is a highly specialised subject, but is about much more than just numbers. It looks specifically at the daily flow of money in and out of a business, keeping an eye on the balance and avoiding any future challenges.

It is the study of the world around us from a social, financial and cultural perspective, gaining an understanding of economic theories and interrelationships between macro and micro economic issues. You will develop your analytical, numeric, communication and problem-solving skills and cultural awareness.
