Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of East London to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students with accounting and finance-specific knowledge will team up to offer a consultancy service to a business client. The team will work with the business to redefine the problem, opportunity or service required. Our Accounting & Finance is one of only a few courses in London accredited by six accountancy bodies: ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, AIA, CPA Australia, and IFA.

We have one of the larges Bloomberg training suites in the country where our students can access live financial data and world class equipment used by industry professionals. Also, we have a Tax Clinic which is mostly student-led but supervised by professionals with many years' experiences in their field.
