Would a postgraduate accounting conversion course suit me if my first degree had little numerical content?
Yes, it may suit you. Accounting conversion courses are designed for graduates without an accounting degree, so limited numerical content in your first degree is not necessarily a barrier. However, you should be comfortable developing basic numeracy and working with figures, as the course may include financial accounting, management accounting, statistics, or quantitative analysis.
Key points
- Review the entry requirements and module descriptions for the specific course.
- Check whether teaching assumes prior mathematics or accounting knowledge and whether preparatory support is available.
- Consider practising percentages, algebra, spreadsheets, and basic financial statements before starting.
- Your interest in accounting and willingness to build quantitative confidence may matter as much as your previous subject.
Things to check
- Requirements, mathematical expectations, and available support vary by university and course.
- You should confirm the details in the official course information and contact the provider if your background is unusual.
