Part of City, University of London, Bayes is ranked amongst the top 6 business schools in the UK* <br/><br/>On successful completion of the Foundation Year you will have obtained a fundamental knowledge of Mathematics, Probability and Statistics, Economics, Accounting and Finance, Computing and IT to ensure that you are fully prepared to enter Year 1 of the main degree. These modules have been carefully designed to include material that you will come across on the BSc Accounting and Finance degree. <br/><br/>Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year you will proceed onto the BSc Accounting and Finance degree. Over three years – or four if you choose to take a work placement or study abroad year – you gain a thorough grounding in a wide range of core and optional modules. You will become proficient in all areas of accounting and finance, from financial accounting and corporate finance to financial management, taxation and economics.<br/><br/>As a leading global business school in the City of London, we offer all Bayes Business School (formerly Cass) students unrivalled access to the best of global business intelligence and innovation and this is no exception for accounting and finance students. You will be taught by world-leading academics who are at the forefront of research in accounting and finance, as well as accountancy and finance professionals who practice at the highest levels of the industry in London and globally. <br/><br/>In each year of your degree, you will study a core set of modules that will allow you to focus on finance and accounting, alongside modules that will broaden your studies into other areas of economics and business. In fact, the Accounting and Finance degree at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass) contains more credits than the majority of all other accounting and finance degrees in the UK. By studying for 450 credits rather than the standard 360 credits during your degree, you are able to obtain in depth understanding in specialisms such as business forecasting, asset management, Visual Basic programming and corporate social responsibility. <br/><br/>During your time on the Accounting and Finance degree, we support your professional and personal growth in a number of ways. As well as hosting a series of business networking events at our state-of-the art building, we also employ a variety of assessment methods, including presentations and group-based projects, ensuring you develop your communication skills throughout.
