Skills

Make your mark with the professional and financial skills that matter most to employers.

With our BSc Accounting Studies (Top-up), you’ll apply contemporary research and the latest thinking to explore current accounting issues, including:

  • Financial accounting
  • Decision making
  • Ethics and responsible management

You’ll learn how to identify and solve problems and to communicate your ideas with impact. We’ll also help you to increase your employability through our Business Readiness module.

As your accounting and leadership skills grow, you’ll develop the commercial acumen, emotional intelligence, and self-reflection you need to realise your goals.

This programme is open for all students in the UK and overseas who wish to transfer to complete the final year of an undergraduate degree, as well as students who have completed study at one of Roehampton's partner institutions.

Belong, believe and achieve through our practical approach to accounting.

We'll deliver a modern, practice-based curriculum, where you'll connect your learning to the realities of accounting.

In high-spec facilities, like our Business Laboratory and new Bloomberg Trading Room, you’ll explore:

  • Business ethics

Our faculty of academic experts and working professionals will guide you through a blended mix of:

  • Lectures
  • Seminars
  • Independent learning
  • Online study skills
  • Assessment preparation sessions

As our courses are taught over no more than three days per week, you’ll have the flexibility to take on paid part-time work, placements, or internships – gaining real-world experience before you graduate.

We apply world-leading research and the latest thinking to your studies to help you develop a global mindset.

Assessment

Benefit from assessments that prepare you for life beyond university. 

You'll be assessed using a wide range of theory and practical assessments that replicate the world of business today. This includes coursework, reports, exams (on Accountancy and Finance modules only) and online tests.

Other types of assessments include portfolio evaluation, case studies, critical poster, consultancy projects and using the Bloomberg terminal to track performance of a live asset.

All of these methods will help you demonstrate the breath and knowledge you've learnt.
