What’s it about?

From large corporate companies to public and voluntary sector organisations, demand for qualified finance professionals has never been greater. An interest in how money helps organisations grow and a head for figures is a good start. There are a wide variety of specialist areas available. From corporate finance, auditing and information systems to taxation and forensic accounting – enough to stimulate the most demanding of brain cells. You can even become a generalist offering financial advice to international clients to increase the value of their assets. Whoever said accountants were boring never met a Huddersfield graduate.

Be in demand

Accountancy and Finance at the University of Huddersfield had a 90% record of graduates finding employment or going on to further study within six months of graduation during 2009/10.
