Accounting, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Accounting suits analytical minds and problem-solvers; strong communication skills are as vital as numerical ability. This single honours degree immerses you in accounting and business from day one, offering maximum accreditation from ICAEW, ACCA, and CIMA exams.

A flexible study abroad year at partner universities enhances academic, cultural, and language skills, with potential funding from scholarships.Durham University Business School’s specialist Accounting and Finance departments provide an inspiring environment, ranking 3rd (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026), 5th (Guardian and Complete University Guide 2026), and top 100 (QS World University Rankings 2026). Modern facilities include meeting rooms, financial databases, and libraries. Graduates secure roles in accountancy (auditing, tax, consulting) and finance (analysis, risk, investment banking) at firms like PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, and Deutsche Bank.
