BA (Hons) Business Management (Accounting & Finance)

Arden University

Accounting and finance decisions inside modern organisations are the specialism of BA (Hons) Business Management (Accounting & Finance), studied online part-time. Course notes say year one builds broad business management knowledge, including managing people and how organisations function. Years two and three move to accounting and finance skills and technologies, financial and cost accounting, risk management, business transformation and corporate governance, plus the legal and ethical environment. The next intake is November 2026. Standard entry is two A levels and three GCSEs at grade C or above; otherwise at least two years of professional work experience, evidenced with a CV and reference, may be considered. AF Education gives England-resident UK home students free help with the application and Student Finance England.

Who this course is for

This suits adults who want an undergraduate degree in this subject, including career changers and returners to education.

Entry routes for mature students

Standard entry is two subjects at GCE A level or equivalent, plus passes at grade C or above in three GCSE subjects. Without these, at least two years of professional work experience evidenced with a CV and reference may be considered. AF Education confirms what applies to you.

Funding with Student Finance England

AF Education is a free service for England-resident UK home students — not international applicants. For eligible part-time courses, a Tuition Fee Loan can be paid directly to the university. Distance-learning students can normally only get a Maintenance Loan if they cannot attend in person because of a disability, so we check your position before you apply.

How often you study

This course is delivered online, so there are no campus days to plan around. Your study plan is confirmed before you enrol.

Career and progression

AF Education does not guarantee jobs or progression. The degree aims to build knowledge and transferable skills valued across related roles.

How the three years build

The university says year 1 covers broad business management, including managing people and how organisations function. Years 2 and 3 move into accounting and finance skills and technologies, financial and cost accounting, risk management, business transformation and corporate governance.

Online with no campus days

This is an online part-time course, so it fits around work. The next intake is November 2026. Part-time courses need a course intensity of 25% or more for Student Finance (source: GOV.UK). Distance learning does not normally qualify for a Maintenance Loan, so the Tuition Fee Loan is the main support.

Entry and interview

Standard entry is two A levels or equivalent plus three GCSEs at grade C or above; if you don't meet that, Arden can consider your application on other evidence such as work experience. Arden interviews are a short online conversation on Microsoft Teams about your course choice and how you meet the entry route, not a formal exam; join 5 minutes early, as arriving more than 5 minutes late usually means the interview is cancelled.
