Welcome and Introduction 

We offer three pathways when choosing to study Accounting at Durham University: 

BSc Accounting: With maximum professional accreditation, the pure Accounting degree will enable you to graduate as a partly exam-qualified accountant and embeds a strong employability theme throughout.  

BA Accounting and Finance: This course is designed by a team of academic experts to develop your skills in the theory and practice of accounting and finance. This programme, which is delivered through workshops, will give you the detail-oriented ‘accounting and finance’ skills to get you industry-ready.

BA Accounting and Management: A team of academic experts has designed this programme to develop your theoretical and practical knowledge of accounting and management. This programme, delivered through workshops, offers high-quality teaching and learning in a supportive environment that encourages self-awareness, reflective practice, and cross-cultural awareness.

All programmes have an optional study abroad or placement option.

Information for Guests of Offer-holders

Post-offer Visit Days are not just a chance to find out more about the course you hold an offer for but are also an opportunity to explore the social side of being a Durham University student. To this end, you will be able to spend time in University colleges, be given the opportunity to speak with current students and participate in sessions led by Experience Durham and our professional support services. 

We are happy to accommodate a limited number of guests in the departmental sessions. Guests may also want to take this opportunity to see some of the facilities that the University offers, as well as explore the beautiful city of Durham.  

If you are looking for somewhere to stop for lunch, the Calman and Palatine cafés will be open to visitors until 4pm, or you are welcome to venture into the city centre to explore options there.
