MSc Accounting and Finance

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.

If you already hold a professional accounting qualification such as ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW, you only need to undertake two modules to complete the award - Current Issues in Accounting and Research, and the Accounting Dissertation.

The normal entry requirement is one of the following:

• a good honours degree (at least a 2:2)

• a post-experience or professional qualification

• equivalent qualifications (including international qualifications).

20 Hours of work permit weekly for international students.
