Our BSc in Accounting and Finance with Foundation Year will provide you with a solid foundation and technical skills in accounting and finance. <br/><br/>We will help you to develop quantitative, communications and information technology skills and the ability to apply these skills in an accounting and finance context. You will learn how managers, shareholders and other stakeholders make decisions in organisations. <br/><br/>Our accounting degrees offer you the opportunity to gain exemptions from the accounting and management accounting professional bodies, ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW and ICAS, dependent on satisfactory completion of certain modules. <br/><br/>In the first year of this course you will be working towards passing a foundation year (year 0), which will enable automatic progression onto year one of BSc in Accounting and Finance. <br/><br/>Our integrated Business Foundation year degrees are aimed at students who wish to study a business-related subject but don’t have the traditional entry requirements. <br/><br/>The course is run on the University of Leicester campus like any other, and you will be studying alongside other students who applied for, and slightly missed out on, a place on a course similar to yours. <br/><br/>You will be taught by our expert academic staff from across all areas of the School of Business. The course strongly emphasises the development of essential professional and personal skills, which are necessary throughout your studies and beyond. <br/><br/>During your foundation year you will join our student community and be able to enjoy all aspects of the University of Leicester and School of Business student experience. You will be able to join the Students’ Union, use our academic and leisure facilities, live in our accommodation and access all our support services. <br/><br/>You will have a dedicated personal tutor to support you through your foundation year.
