Course Overview

The BSc in Auditing at the London School of International Business and Management (LSIBM) is a three-year UK honours degree for students targeting audit graduate schemes at a Big Four practice, a mid-tier London firm or an in-house internal-audit function at a UK plc. Sitting in the Accounting, Finance & Economics faculty, this degree combines the accounting and financial-reporting core with modern audit methodology, data analytics and the FRC-facing quality regime that shapes UK audit practice.

You will complete a placement-year option at a UK audit firm, run a live audit-simulation module in year two and produce a final dissertation on a UK audit-market question. The BSc in Auditing is delivered on-campus in central London, fully online with UK/APAC cohort calls, or by distance learning.
