Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
A typical Accounting & Finance degree progresses from foundational bookkeeping and financial concepts to specialist options and independent research. You'll usually begin with Financial Accounting (double-entry and reporting frameworks), Introduction to Finance (time value of money, markets and instruments), and Quantitative Methods for Business (statistics and spreadsheet modelling). In year two, you'll typically move to Management Accounting (costing, budgeting and decision-making), Corporate Finance (capital structure and company valuation), and Financial Reporting & Analysis (interpreting accounts under IFRS and audit basics). In your final year, you'll choose specialist options such as audit & assurance, taxation, corporate finance, financial risk or fintech, complete Advanced Corporate Reporting (group accounts and complex transactions), and undertake a dissertation or applied project, often designed with professional-body exemptions in view.
Who it's for
You are someone with a genuine interest in how buildings and infrastructure projects come together, the planning, budgeting, safety, scheduling and people management that happens on site and in the office. You may have studied towards a foundation year because you want to deepen your foundational knowledge before tackling a full degree, or because your prior qualifications don't quite meet typical entry points. You're practical-minded, comfortable with numbers, and interested in learning how construction teams coordinate across disciplines. If you're curious about the business and technical sides of construction equally, and you want to move into roles where you oversee projects or contribute to major developments, this course will suit your ambitions.

International students
What applying to Bath Spa University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by Bath Spa University; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check Bath Spa University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Bath Spa University and gov.uk before you apply.
