You will also have the opportunity to extend your degree to four years with a placement year studying abroad or working in the UK or overseas.

Amended content:
If you choose our 4-year degree you will work in the UK or overseas. You may also apply for a study placement at one of our partner institutions. Previous work placements have been carried out at companies such as L’Oreal, Microsoft, EY, Goldman Sachs, and GlaxoSmithKline.

Course structure
We have added a new paragraph to the page about the Placement Year offering:

New content:
Are you considering studying BSc Accounting and Finance with Placement Year?

If you choose to study BSc Accounting and Finance with Placement Year, your third year will be when you complete your work placement and then you will study the modules listed within Year Three within your final year (Year Four) when you return to WBS.

Study abroad
We have revised the study abroad paragraph in the ‘Course overview’ tab to reflect the changes to the Placement Year:

Original content:
The following WBS degree enables you to spend time studying abroad:

- International Management

Study abroad is not a requirement of Accounting and Finance, nor is it guaranteed. However if there are places available once allocations have been made to the students on the above course, Accounting and Finance students may be considered.

Amended content:
Study abroad is guaranteed for students on BSc International Management who meet the Year One requirements. As part of our BSc Accounting and Finance with Placement Year students can apply for a study placement (rather than working). Studying abroad as part of this course is undertaken in English and opportunities are available with a wide range of partners in countries such as Canada, Singapore, France, and Japan.

Core modules
We have revised our introduction to the core modules to reflect the Placement Year option on the ‘Modules’ tab:

Amended content:
The layout below represents the modules for studying BSc Accounting and Finance, if you chose to study BSc Accounting and Finance with Placement Year, the third year modules listed below will become your fourth year modules as you will complete your work placement within your third year.
