About the course

The MSc in Accounting has been designed in consultation with industry to provide candidates with a robust theoretical understanding of, and key skills in, Accounting.

　　The programme aims to provide candidates who are interested in Accounting but whose undergraduate degree is not accounting-related, to pursue a conversion programme which will allow you to gain professional accountancy body exemptions. In this way, the programme will fast track successful graduates to becoming a professional accountant.

　　The course is for those wishing to embark on a career in Accountancy.

　　Candidates will develop a critical and analytical approach to problem-solving and decision-making in an accounting context and develop the ability to interpret, analyse and communicate financial and other information. The learning environment for the course is practical and applied in nature and on completion graduates will be able to think independently, make informed and effective decisions and critically engage with accounting practices and contemporary accounting issues.

　　Candidates will also gain a broader business viewpoint and develop insights into effective leadership practices, corporate governance and ethics issues, in addition to insight into business intelligence to deepen their understanding of data and data governance, gaining the capacity to use quantitative methods and analytics to make more data-informed decisions.
