Accountancy / Economics, BAcc (Hons)

Accountancy involves recording, classifying, summarising, interpreting, and communicating financial information about a business. A key advantage is access to guest speakers from the profession, enabling discussions and learning from their expertise, supported by the programme's strong reputation in the field.In Economics, students explore how individuals and societies allocate scarce resources, determine production, and distribute goods by evaluating costs, benefits, risks, and impacts on others. The curriculum covers microeconomics and macroeconomics, with options in areas like government policy, developing countries, business economics, and international trade. At Glasgow, Economics traces back to Adam Smith, a former professor and pioneer of the discipline. The Adam Smith Business School holds triple-crown accreditation, placing it among elite international institutions. Joint honours students take Economics 2A and 2B in year two, followed by combined Accounting, Finance, and Economics courses in years three and four. Opportunities exist for up to a year abroad at partner universities in Europe, North and South America, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, with no extra fees and full credit toward the degree.
