Student Profiles
V. Cook, ICAEW Trainee
“Choosing a university was a difficult
task because there were so many
important factors to look at and it was
a decision that would affect my future.
“I was lucky as I had good A-Level
grades and was able to select from
most universities. However, as soon as
I had visited Salford on the open day, I
knew that it was where I wanted to
study.
“I have never regretted my decision
and I have thoroughly enjoyed my
years here. The staff have provided
great support in both my studies and
in my search for a placement. The
course has excellent ties with
employers and through this I acquired
a placement at BUPA.
“I have made some great friends here
and the location is also ideal, close to
Manchester for shopping trips and
fantastic nights out!
“I graduated with first class honours
and am now employed at KPMG, as a
graduate trainee.”

Student Profiles 28
Finance and Accounting
Salford Business School © 2010
Stephen Gammon, ACA
“I really enjoyed my time at Salford on
the Finance and Accounting degree. I
found the course interesting and
stimulating and believe it provided
excellent preparation for my training
as a chartered accountant. The course
blended both the theoretical and
practical elements of finance and
accounting and enabled me to obtain
maximum exemptions from the
ICAEW. The business skills developed
as part of the course, such as
presentation skills, played a significant
part in my successful application for a
graduate placement at KPMG. Overall,
I would wholeheartedly recommend
the course to anyone considering a
career in finance and/or accounting.”

H. Ahmed, CIMA Qualified


“I decided to study Finance and
Accounting at Salford University
because of the course content and
because the course offered more
exemptions from CIMA exams than
any other university I was interested in.
“I chose not to seek an industrial
placement as I wanted to give full
concentration to my studies. As a
result of the support and confidence
that the course and tutors gave me, I
graduated with first class honours and

29 Student Profiles
Finance and Accounting
Salford Business School © 2010
obtained my current post within two
months of graduating.
“I am currently working as a Graduate
Finance Trainee with Network Rail,
who are sponsoring me to complete
my CIMA qualification.”
S. Morris, ACCA
“I attended a number of open days
when considering which university
was best for me. I first considered
Salford because it gave me the
maximum exemptions from the
professional accountancy
examinations and it gave me the
opportunity to undertake a placement.
“Once I had started the course I found
the lecturers, tutors and support staff
very helpful and the placement I
obtained at Central Manchester and
Manchester Children’s University
Hospitals NHS Trust provided me with
valuable experience in both financial
and management accounting.
“I graduated with first class honours
and decided to stay at Salford
University for another year to
complete the ACCA part three exams.
I passed all five final papers at my first
sitting resulting in me obtaining ACCA
affiliate status one year after
graduating.”
