Bsc Accounting and Finance (Foundation)

at Bayes Business School

The Foundation course has been designed to familiarise you with material that you will study in more depth in later years of the degree programme.  The modules covered are:

Year 0
Foundation MathematicsThis will cover A-level Mathematics and topics from A-level further Mathematics.  As you will have already studied A-level mathematics (or equivalent) we will focus more on the later topics such as calculus. The material in this module will prepare you for the mathematical techniques you will encounter throughout your degree.

Foundation Probability and StatisticsThe probability and statistics module will assume that students will arrive with no knowledge of probability or statistics. The module will start with basic concepts such as summary statistics and basic probability and will develop these concepts to more advanced topics such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression and probability distributions. The material in this module will prepare you for the Introduction to Statistics module in year 1.

Introduction to EconomicsThis course will cover fundamental topics in both macro and micro economics.  We will assume that you have not covered this material before and this module will help you prepare for the first year Economics module.  This module will have an integrated study skills module which will develop your ability in such areas as note taking, essay planning, mind maps, etc. which will help both with this module and the rest of your studies and later employment.

Introduction to Finance and AccountingThis module will introduce you to concepts such as interest rates, discounted cash-flows, different types of investments and company accounts. The material in this module will prepare you for the Introduction to Finance module and the accounting modules you will take in year 1.  It will also provide real world skills for the analysis of companies and investments.
