Strathclyde Business School Department of Accounting & Finance

Undergraduate study

Accounting

You can study accounting in combination with a range of business subjects at Strathclyde. In the majority of study combinations, accounting is fully accredited for entry to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) as well as offering exemptions to other professional bodies, eg Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

By studying accounting you'll learn how to read and interpret accounting information in the annual reports of businesses and the financial information within the public sector. You'll also become familiar with the principles and practice of presenting information to those who manage all types of organisations.

Many of our graduates go on to qualify as Chartered Accountants through one of the major accounting bodies, while others enter banking, stockbroking and fund management.
