Students have the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects including finance, law, management, economics, information systems, accounting, marketing and statistics.

While there is an emphasis on accounting, other areas such as business information systems, economics, finance, law, management, marketing, psychology, statistics and taxation are also covered. You are not expected to have any knowledge of business when commencing the BSc Accounting degree. All subjects are taught from a foundation level. The first two years of the course focus on the fundamental aspects of each business discipline. In Years 3 and 4, coverage is at a more advanced level. Year 3 also contains a paid six-month work placement, which is arranged by UCC.

Expected lecture hours: 12 lecture hours per week. Lectures may be supplemented by tutorials and computer practicals.
