MSc Accounting and Finance

Course Overview

Graduates can expect to be employed in areas within the industry, accounting practices or the public sector. The degree provides a good stepping stone to training for a career in accountancy or a role in general management and also provides those seeking positions in the finance industry with both specialist finance knowledge and the necessary level of understanding of accounting.

This course is distinctive in its focus on using financial skills in organisations. You develop hard and soft accounting skills as well as the interpersonal skills necessary to work effectively in a challenging business environment.
