Accounting Flying Start degree programme

Want to study accounting?

During the programme you’ll have three paid work placements with us. In each university’s academic year one term will be on placement, so you’ll still have the summer off to enjoy. The programme will put you on track to becoming an ICAEW Chartered Accountant and you’ll complete 80% of your ICAEW exams on the degree, and will be just over a year away from the full qualification once you graduate.
