Course overview

The BSc Accounting and Finance with Integrated Foundation at the University of Buckingham is a three-year programme designed for students who might not meet the usual entry requirements for a standard degree. The foundation year helps students develop important academic skills and knowledge, setting them up for the main accounting and finance courses they will take later.

The course covers various topics, including auditing, financial accounting, taxation, management accounting, and corporate law.
