This course offers a fully integrated degree combining Economics and Accounting subjects. The course is designed for students who seek to broaden their knowledge of Economics and understand the linkage between Accounting and Finance.

The Economics units provide you with insight into economic structures, institutions (for example, banks), and policies that underpin and influence the financial markets. You will be prepared for a career as an economist. You would be taught Economics using a research-led approach by experts from the School of Economics.

The Accounting and Finance units explore accounting institutions, accountancy firms, accounting regulations and accounting techniques that are used by and support organisations both in and outside the market.

Our course prepares you for a career in the economics field as well as working in the accountancy profession and financial markets. The course provides you with access to subjects accredited by several professional accountancy bodies, including the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA).

This course is unique as it offers you an interdisciplinary perspective. You will learn from academic experts who work with industry experts in the financial sector. The knowledge acquired from the field is used to design and shape the curriculum, enabling you to keep abreast with commercial and contemporary issues.

Our course is rigorous and draws on theory, cutting-edge research, and practice to prepare students for their future careers in Economics, Accounting and Finance. It has a world-class reputation for producing high-quality graduates with strong quantitative skills and a global outlook.

This course provides you with rewarding opportunities to participate in a summer internship and the Bristol PLUS Award.

You'll also benefit from the Professional Liaison Network within the faculty, which runs a professional mentoring scheme with alumni, insight talks, and internships.

Previously, graduates have gone on to work for the Bank of England, JP Morgan, UBS, PwC, KPMG, EY, Deloitte, Microsoft, IBM and many other blue-chip organisations.

For the first 2 years of this course, teaching is delivered on the Clifton Campus where you will gain a thorough understanding of your subject. For the final year of the course, students will also have some teaching at the new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, opening 2026, where enhanced links with businesses will provide students with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate. In your final year, your location of study will depend on the optional units you choose.

This course is currently undergoing its scheduled five-year re-accreditation process with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). It has previously been ACCA accredited for the purpose of exemptions from some professional examinations. The outcome of the current review is expected by July 2026.
