Accounting and Finance Oxford Brookes University

Overview

Accounting and Finance programme at the Oxford Brookes University is designed for graduates of any non accounting and finance subject. Many of our students have studied business before, but we also have students from history, music and even Japanese studies.

Quick Facts:

• You'll learn how accounting and finance teams fit into a small, medium or large organisation and utilise your soft skills in problem solving, teamwork, and communication to have a rigorous and professional approach to managing important financial data. Our teaching team have worked in industry and academia – they’ve written textbooks, but they’ve also worked for international companies like Unilever.
• You can join us for guest lecturers from businesses like Harley-Davidson and get involved in Business Challenge Week where cross-faculty student teams work with local companies to address real-world business challenges.
• We’ve designed this course to cover the 3 key areas of accounting education: financial reporting, management accounting and finance. You’ll also build the digital skills you need to use Excel and other software used in industry.
• You’ll master management techniques that help plan, control and analyze performance, and develop the technical abilities to evaluate business processes. Understanding how financial decisions contribute to organizations’ objectives will also be key.
• We’ll cover financial accounting techniques, from basic transaction records to international financial reporting. You’ll learn to prepare and interpret financial statements and debate current issues in international financial accounting.
• You get the chance to do a project that investigates a topic of particular interest to you or your future career. Some students investigate areas like the benefits and drawbacks of Environmental Social Governance reporting, while others examine the best ways to measure success at the organisation where they already work.
