Accounting

The Accounting program aims to provide students with the theoretical, technical, and empirical background necessary for financial problem solving and financial decision-making within the complex and changing business environment. This program has been designed for students intending to pursue a career in accounting, or in any other area where financial accounting information and decisions are a central element. The students will have the opportunity to acquire a broad-based education, which will provide a good starting point for their later professional work and studies. In addition, students will receive an academic foundation to which problems arising in their later professional work can be referred, and a way of thinking which will help them to meet the challenges of new ideas and problems. This course seeks to provide students with the skills employers in the field are looking for: detailed knowledge of financial accounting, financial reporting, auditing, taxation, cost and management accounting, and financial statement analysis, which, together with information technology skills, give you the confidence to use a wide range of accounting and business software.
