Accounting and Finance - Top Up BA (Hons)

If you already hold an HND or Foundation degree in Accounting and Finance or an equivalent qualification, top it up to a full Accounting and Finance BA (Hons) degree in 18 months with this online course. Partnered with the CISI, our course is also directly mapped against the teaching of their foundation qualification, Introduction to Investment, with the option to take its exam upon completion of our course. Gaining the full bachelor’s degree can improve your career prospects, strengthen your CV and allow you to move onto a Master’s degree at a later date, should you wish to.

It’s a popular choice for busy professionals or those returning to work, who want to get all the benefits a full degree brings, but need a flexible study pattern.
