Aims of the Programme "This programme aims to develop the intellectual, analytical and communication skills of students by providing them with a breadth of knowledge of accounting and finance, together with the transferable skills (for example in group and team working) that are necessary to apply this knowledge in new and challenging contexts. The underlying philosophy of the programme is that students study all aspects of accounting and finance throughout the programme to levels appropriate for successful careers in accounting and finance and commerce.

Entry to the BSc Accounting and Finance programme in Singapore is direct to stage two. All students have completed Diplomas that require them to achieve the learning outcomes that would have been achieved had they studied Stage One in Birmingham.
