Gain a comprehensive understanding of management disciplines with specialised accounting expertise.
We've designed this new degree for students thinking about a career in accounting or general management. Get the competitive edge by graduating with both management and specialised accounting knowledge.
The course covers both financial and management accounting, and a range of key management topics. You'll be able to develop specialist skills or take a more general approach. You'll graduate well prepared for the career you want.
Your first year covers the fundamentals of accounting and management. You'll also learn about business as part of society, and the related social and environmental responsibilities.
Build on Year 1 with more advanced core accounting and management units. You’ll continue to study both financial and management accounting. Choose from a range of optional units to either broaden your studies or specialise in certain areas.
In your final year, you'll continue to specialise in accounting. Optional units will allow you to pursue interests in other business areas. You’ll also do the Individual Project. This is a chance to apply what you’ve learned on the course to a practical or academic accounting research question.
Prepare for the career you want with our Professional Development Programme (PDP). PDP includes training and workshops to improve your skills in areas like:
If you want to do a placement, PDP will help you find a relevant role and make the most of your time there.

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Read more about the School of Management placement schemeThese lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Timetabled contact hours, which can be made up of lectures, seminars and tutorials vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between ten and 20 hours a week.
Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.
The amount of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
As well as timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment. Typically, this might be around 20 to 25 hours per week, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After Year 1, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example you may do an Individual Project in your final year.
The mix of assessment methods will vary throughout your course and according to your option choices but overall you will experience a broad balance between examinations and coursework.
The final degree classification is determined by your second and final year marks and each contributes 32% and 68% respectively.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages.
By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams.
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
We consider a range of factors when assessing your application for this course, including your previous academic performance (such as GCSEs), your personal statement, your predicted grades and the combination of subjects you study at A level (or equivalent).
Your personal statement needs to create a strong impression as part of your university application. It's your opportunity to say why you want to study your chosen course, and what skills, experiences and achievements you have that will make you a successful student. A competitive statement will reflect on books or articles you may have read or any work experience you may have undertaken. When describing relevant experiences, you should demonstrate what you have learnt and how they are relevant to management, accounting or your future career.
Your entry qualifications should demonstrate a breadth of study through subjects that show both essay-writing and strong numerical skills. Examples of numerical subjects could include Mathematics, any science, Economics, Psychology, Statistics or Geology. Examples of essay-based subjects could include Business Studies, Economics, English Literature, Politics, Psychology, Sociology or Religious Studies.
If you study qualifications such as A levels, you will ideally have one subject in each of the above categories and a third complementary subject relevant to this course. Some subjects, such as Economics or Psychology, could be counted for any one of these categories. Examples of relevant complementary subjects for BSc Accounting and Management could include Accounting, Geography, Law, Media Studies, Philosophy or Sociology.
We know that the context in which you are studying can have an impact on your ability to perform your best in exams and coursework, or limit which subjects or qualifications you are able to study at your school or college. We consider any application based on its merits, including your background and circumstances, including through:
