The ABC programme is a qualification designed to ensure students obtain a sound knowledge of bookkeeping. This suits a range of staff, whether they wish to progress to further study or just develop their bookkeeping skills in their current role. The ABC package is a self guided interactive package which teaches the essential bookkeeping skills in a flexible and affordable way.

The Finance Training team also provide 6 half day workshops (approximately every 3 weeks at Greenwich House). We help students understand the study modules, provide more practical examples and relate the syllabus to the University context.

The Certificate is achieved by passing a computer based exam following 3-4 months studying the ABC syllabus. This certification is the equivalent of passing the traditional AAT Foundation study course and is a recognised qualification in its own right and excellent preparation for the AAT Intermediate level.

This module is part of the Social Science Research Methods Course programme which is a shared platform for providing research students with a broad range of quantitative and qualitative research

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course is aimed at those new to programming, or who have never been formally taught the principles and basic concepts of programming. It provides an introduction to the basic concepts common to most high level languages (including Python, Java, Fortran, C, C++, Visual Basic). The aim of the course is to equip attendees with the background knowledge and confidence necessary to tackle many on-line and printed programming tutorials. It may also help attendees in deciding which programming language is suitable for their programming task.

Knowledge of the concepts presented in this course is a pre-requisite for many of the other courses in the Scientific Computing series of courses (although not for the "Python for Absolute Beginners" course).

This module is part of the Social Science Research Methods Course programme which is a shared platform for providing research students with a broad range of quantitative and qualitative research methods skills that are relevant across the social sciences.
