Accounting and finance can be more quantitative than accounting and management, because the finance modules can be more mathematical (require knowledge of series, logarithms, some knowledge of calculus, etc.). There are accounting and finance degrees out there that don't require A Level Maths, but they don't contain content that is as quantitative.
•
Management modules tend to be a close duplication of what is in A Level Business Studies. However, the content tends to be a lot more descriptive, so unless you are good with writing essays about management theory you're not going to fare that well.
•
Management modules are also more diverse and significantly less specialised e.g. they cover finance, accounting, economics, marketing, HR, etc.
•
If you're hunting for exemptions from modules in professional accounting qualifications, then accounting and finance is more likely to offer you more exemptions than accounting with management. However, this would depend on the individual professional accounting qualification than something you can generally apply to all degrees. You would need to check the exemptions calculator for each professional body to check.
•
Accounting and finance would likely require you to look into auditing, business law, and tax. These are topics that you are not likely going to find in an accounting and management degree unless you opt for them.
•
Accounting and management degrees are more likely going to allow you to pick more options than a degree in accounting and finance.
