When I applied to Durham last year, I initially applied for BA in Accounting and Finance, however, I was offered the BSc Accounting programme instead. At this point, I hadn’t looked into pure Accounting so I was a bit worried as I didn’t know much about the course or the modules. However, after looking into it a bit more, I…
Studying Business at Durham is one of the most positively impactful decisions I’ve made so far.

First of all, I would like to start by saying that both of these courses are great choices that will lead to great…
