What you can study

Accounting and Finance is part of the Bristol Business School. Built on tradition but shaped by the very latest thinking, our courses cover the breadth of both disciplines. You will not only learn accounting and finance but also gain a solid foundation in economics and quantitative analysis. 

You will find units on:

• the fundamentals, principles, and strategies of finance 
• behavioural finance and cognitive bias
• bitcoin, fintech, smart-beta investing
• financial markets

Pre-requisites

A strong background in mathematics. Students are expected to have completed an A-Level in Mathematics, or an equivalent, before starting any Accounting and Finance units.

At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:

• Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
• Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
• Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.

Subject Pathway students
