Undergraduate courses
Accountancy
Keen to become an accountant? Then you’ll know you ideally need both a university degree and a recognised professional qualification.
This course provides the first part, to a superb standard, and it also helps you towards the second, as many professional bodies will grant you significant exemptions from their exams when you have a Stirling degree.
Accountancy and Finance
The Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) in Accountancy and Finance course is designed specifically for students planning a career in the Accountancy profession and/or the wider financial sector. Apart from the additional finance content which offers a specialisation for entering the professions in the banking and investment industries, the main difference from the single Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) course is that there is no requirement to do a dissertation in Semester 8.
The Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) in Accountancy and Finance degree is also accredited by ICAS, CIMA, CIPFA and ACCA who will grant you significant exemptions from their exams when you have a Stirling degree.
Business Studies
The Business Studies course at Stirling provides a flexible yet focused learning experience. You will build a strong knowledge base and master the skills and competencies to form a foundation from which managerial expertise can develop throughout your working life.

Finance
Studying finance involves the investigation of how company managers and investors make financial decisions, how they manage risk and how financial markets function.
Human Resource Management
Do you want to develop your language skills and your knowledge of business contexts in the EU? Europe’s growing integration has created a greater need than ever for graduates with business and marketing skills with knowledge of foreign languages and cultures. Similarly, its increased mobility has opened up more opportunities for them too. Our courses enable you to take advantage of both these developments.

Marketing
Marketing is about creating and sustaining mutually satisfying exchanges of value between an organisation and its customers and, as such, is both a function in organisations and a way of thinking about business.
Retail Marketing
Retailing is a large and diverse industry that contributes significantly to the overall economy, as well as something that we as consumers experience regularly as part of our everyday lives. Understandably, the retail industry attracts a lot of attention from governments, the media and consumer groups.

This will involve integrating sports science, management, professional and transferable skills.
Sustainable Events Management
Events range in scope, scale and complexity, from mega-events to a corporate meeting. They could cover a diverse range of activities from sport and culture to product launches and fundraising. A successful events manager must have abilities in a very wide range of subject areas. The Sustainable Events Management degree course crosses the boundaries between marketing, human resources, finance, planning and other business skills to develop multi-disciplined, creative team leaders able to organise the largest event down to the smallest detail.
