BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance

Arden University

Fintech, blockchain and investment decision-making sit inside this part-time online BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance. Provider materials describe alignment with ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW so you can pursue professional exemptions, plus Chartered Financial Analyst approval for CFA Level 1 preparation. You practise applying accounting theory to workplace-style tasks while studying remotely — useful if you already handle bookkeeping, payroll or junior finance and cannot travel to campus each week. Campus or Level 5 Accounting and Finance siblings stay on their own pages if those timetables fit better. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.
