    I am just looking at these 2 courses.
    What is the different, is it straightforward what I think it is....
    One has ONLY accounting while the other has both accounting and finance, then won't it be better for an individual to do the accounting and finance course since it offers more, thus enhancing your career prospect ?
    My assumptions could be wrong as I have little knowledge of this.

    I did an Accounting and Finance undergrad (DCU) and I think it doesn't really matter, you're probably still going to learn some finance in a plain accounting course, check though. All it meant for us was that in the third and final year we had an option to specialize into one or the other, most people went with accounting. From job searching afterwards, I felt that the employers didn't care about the modules, only big four firms and few others asked for a full breakdown of modules and I believe they only did it to ask specifically about anything odd on it.

    I do assume there that the courses you're looking at are of equal level and duration. And make sure they give exemptions ;)

    Might be worth checking out, but whichever one offers the most exemptions is the one worth doing
