Introduction

The BSc in Accounting and Finance programme has been designed for those business students who wish to pursue a career in accounting and finance but at the same time provides these students with a general business education. One of the School of Management’s main aims is to address major challenges for business and society such as global responsibility and sustainable development. Accordingly, the School seeks to prepare students who are able to contribute in an effective manner to debates about sustainable development and critically appraise the relationship(s) between the social, economic and environmental dimensions. Our intention is to

BSc Accounting and Finance (MDIS) June 2015.docx Page 1 2 nurture students who can apply the principles of sustainable development in their professional capacity. Whilst there are a number of individual modules that focus specifically on sustainability issues (e.g. Sustainable Operations Management, Ethics in Business and Society), awareness of the importance and principles of sustainability is emphasised in many others.

Similarly, whilst there are a number of modules specifically designed to develop those personal transferable skills that will increase your attractiveness to future employers (e.g. MAN0116M Student Self Development, MAN2012L Employability and Enterprise Skills), employability is an over-arching theme across the programme and many of the modules will develop your employability skills in different ways.

The BSc Accounting and Finance programme of study combines academic rigour with practicality and relevance for business and management in industry and commerce. A fundamental aim of the programme is to add value to the contribution students make to their organisations. Added value is evidenced for all students as they apply their learning in the future.

The degree programme offers exemptions from some of the professional examinations for the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA) and the CPA Australia.

Curriculum

The map of your studies is detailed below. The first and second ‘Stages’ or taught ‘Years’ of this Honours programme at MDIS consists of three terms with 40 credits being studied in each term. These terms begin in January, May and September. A number of modules are core to the programme (compulsory for all students) and have two primary purposes. The first set, found exclusively in Stage 1, are foundational modules which provide grounding in all of the basic business and management programme areas. The second set are found in Stage 2, including a module in Business Law and a module in Employability and Enterprise Skills which develops your ability to search for work, make applications and be successively employed. In Stage 2, you will take 110 credits worth of compulsory modules and 10 credits worth of optional modules. In Stage 3 you will undertake 80 credits worth of core modules and 40 credits of options. In addition to these core subjects, MDIS will select, through a process of consultation, and incorporating student feedback, a fixed diet of additional module for this programme. You will see in the tables below that the core programme modules are aligned to set study periods (terms: Jan, May or Sep), the optional module diet timings will change on a regular basis and so do not have a designated study period (year).

Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies

The approach to teaching and learning aims to integrate applied and theoretical knowledge, taking into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the mode of study and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the programme. Stage 1 of the programme contains only core modules and provides the foundation level understanding to support the attainment of learning outcomes 1 to 8. During Stage 1 core knowledge and understanding of business and management will be introduced (LO1-5) to support the broader application and understanding of these issues for those who undertake the Accounting and Finance programme. Alongside these, key graduate learner skills including communication and the correct sourcing, use of and presentation of information including referencing will be introduced. Such skills will enable you to write in an academic manner (LO6) and begin to reflect on the value and usefulness of the information (LO5) with which you are presented, engage in team working (LO7) and consider your future career paths (LO8). Stage 2 contains 110 credits of core modules. This is where the Accounting and Finance student develops their subject specialisms. MAN2907L Financial Accounting, MAN2908L Management Accounting, MAN0405M Financial Management and MAN2909M Capital Markets, Investment and Finance, all allow the student to gain levels of critical understanding in their subject discipline area (LO9, 10, 12, 14), whilst MAN2011M Business Law continues the development of theory and provides more specialist knowledge to underpin business decision making (LO11). MAN2012L Employability and Enterprise Skills supports the attainment of core transferable skills such as problem solving and career enhancement (LO13, 15, 16). During Stage 2 of the programme you begin to develop specialist knowledge and understanding of the key disciplines, and are encouraged to critically review the current theory and its practical applications through both your core subject specialisms and your option choice (LO9, 11 and 13). During Stage 2 you will also encounter a wide variety of assessments that build and test graduate attributes (LO14, 15 and 16). As a Stage 3 student, you will be prepared to demonstrate your ability as an independent learner. For the final stage, advanced specialist knowledge in accounting and finance is gained via the 80 credits of core modules. You will be presented with teaching materials, methods and assessment strategies that will require you to be more evaluative and critical of theory and utilise problem solving

BSc Accounting and Finance (MDIS) June 2015.docx Page 7 8 skills (LO 17, 18, 19), often in relation to advanced accounting techniques, or business scenarios for your optional modules. Graduate transferable skills will be gained as you research and present information in depth (LO21) and communicate this effectively, either individually (LO21) or as part of a group (LO23). Methods of assessment are varied and linked to learning requirements. They will include closed and open book examinations, essays, programme work, case studies, practical exercises, computer assisted assessment, group work and presentations. There are various opportunities for formative feedback, for example in tutorials, via programme work feedback, feedback from formative online quizzes, interactive learning software, and online discussion forums.

Admission Requirements

The University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of their previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application. Most important in the decision to offer a place is our assessment of a candidate’s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme. Entrance requirements for each programme will vary but consideration of your application will be based on a combination of your formal academic qualifications and other relevant experience. If you have prior certificated learning or professional experience which may be equivalent to parts of this programme, the University has procedures to evaluate this learning in order to provide you with exemptions from specified modules contained within the curriculum. Please talk to us if you do not fit the standard pattern of entry qualifications. The University of Bradford has always welcomed applications from disabled students, and these will be considered on the same academic grounds as are applied to all applicants. If you have some form of disability you may wish to contact MDIS and/or the University’s Admissions Office before you apply. A typical offer to someone seeking entry through the UCAS scheme would be 320 points with GCSE English and Maths at level C or above. The following qualifications would be considered equivalent to UCAS-recognised A- Levels of 320 points:  Indian Year XII at 77%  An International Baccalaureate score of 27 A Polytechnic Diploma from a UK approved Institution with a B grade average (or a GPA average of 3.0) for Accounting and Finance.

Those who lack academic qualifications but who have significant relevant experience can also be considered. An admissions team at MDIS will assess the suitability of applicants prior to making a recommended decision whether to reject an application, to offer a place conditional on the attainment of an acceptable qualification at an appropriate level, or to offer a place unconditionally.
