Accounting & Accountancy

Hi, these two words have kept me confused for a long time already.
Can anyone tell me the difference between these two and when to use it?
Which one is used to describe what course someone would like to take in University? "He's doing accounting" or "He's doing accountancy"?
Thankss. Miza
