The wide variety of optional modules allows you to develop specialist skills and tailor your degree to suit your career aspirations.<br/><br/>Skills for employability is a key part of the Loughborough experience and can really boost your job prospects, and this degree has a module specifically built in to help you develop your study and employability skills. There are also specific modules in entrepreneurship to help those with aspirations to start or develop their own businesses.<br/><br/>Our BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance degree shares the same first year modules as our Finance degree. If you realise at the end of your first academic year that you prefer the finance route, you may transfer to our Finance degree.
