Business Studies with Finance BA (Hons)

Course overview

You can still apply to BU (including through UCAS Extra). Please apply through UCAS as soon as possible; your application can only be assessed once we have received it from UCAS.

BA (Hons) Business Studies is our longest running course. This course will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and skills in the areas of financial and management accounting with the organisational context.

Many decisions made within organisations have a financial dimension and use accounting information, so it is important for you to understand and be able to contribute to such discussions in the workplace.

Accounting and finance use an increasingly international language in order to meet the challenge presented by the globalisation of many business sectors. Financial and accounting skills are extremely valuable in a wide variety of business situations, and continue to be sought after by all types of commercial and non-commercial organisations.
