MSc Accounting and Finance Pathway 2

Our innovative teaching and learning approaches will prepare you to not only talk the talk, but also to walk the walk. This course will bring you face to face with complex business issues that both challenge and stimulate intellectual and analytical thinking. For example, in our Professional Ethics and Integrity module, you will work with professional actors in role-play scenarios to embrace dilemmas in complex situations where accounting and finance professionals are at the center of decisions. We also use real, recent business cases to help you understand concepts, modules and theories and you can visit businesses where cases and exercises are directly applied. We also use authentic learning case videos developed by professional accounting bodies where possible.
