Accounting and Finance with Placement Year

University of Derby

The BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance course, in partnership with international accountancy firm Mazars, offers our students the opportunity to secure a paid placement at one of the Mazars offices. This will be subject to a successful application process. Students can apply for the Mazars industrial placement in their first year. This is exclusive to students studying on the BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme. If successful, your placement will commence at the start of your third year. Depending on your performance in your placement year and your final degree award, Mazars may offer you a place on their audit graduate trainee programme. You’ll also benefit from mentoring and insight visits to their offices in your first and second year. We also undergo projects with recruitment company Hays as part of the Professional Development Module in stage two. Our BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance is accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), meaning our course has been stringently checked against a range of criteria to ensure our students graduate with a wealth of knowledge across all key areas of accounting.
