Fast-track your career and become a Chartered Accountant in the UK with our BA Accounting and Business – The Flying Start Degree Programme.

Join a university that’s ranked 19th in the UK for Accounting and Finance (Complete University Guide, 2022).

This four-year programme has been developed in partnership with the University of Reading’s Henley Business School, PwC – the UK’s leading professional services organisation – and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

An innovative, challenging degree, it’s been designed to provide you with:

  • the benefit of university study and life
  • paid work experience
  • a guaranteed job offer from PwC at the end of the programme, if you achieve a 2:1 or above on your degree and perform well on placement
  • one of the fastest degree routes to becoming an ICAEW Chartered Accountant in the UK.

Once you’ve graduated, you’ll be approximately one year away from achieving full chartered status.

The application process involves online assessments – including an online interview – as well as an Assessment Centre and Open Day, run together with PwC.

During your first year you will study alongside other students at Henley Business School, enjoying the traditional university experience and developing a thorough grounding in fundamental aspects of accounting, business, ethics and law.

In Years 2, 3 and 4 you will then combine your studies with paid professional work placements at PwC, lasting 12-16 weeks each (16-20 weeks during your final year).
