What is the difference between doing an Accounting and Accounting and Finance degree?

Is Accounting really just that without the finance part or is Accounting a more specialised course if you want to be an accountant? What is better if I want to be an Accountant, an Accounting degree or Accounting and Finance degree?
anyone?
best bet is to take the 2 courses and look at the modules they offer, then do the same with another set of 2 courses and compare those,

you will soons get a "rough" idea if there is any major differences

It depends on the university and the exact title of the degree.

Here at Coventry we have an Accountancy degree and an AccFin.

Accountancy has management accounting and law modules, and is much stricter (we don't have many options). We do get more exemptions from professional quals. and the degree is more focused for people who would like to become professional accountants.

AccFins, however, have a much wider range of modules and a more flexible course. They don't do management or law, but have more options in the financial sector such as personal finance, business organisations, commodity trading.
