Careers in accounting and finance are rewarding but extremely competitive. To succeed, you’ll need essential academic knowledge and the practical skills to apply it in a professional environment. This programme covers both, giving you a decisive advantage as you progress to the next step of your career.

The programme is designed to help you become confident in financial modelling, data-driven analysis, and research methods. You’ll start by developing a shared set of technical skills, then progress into one of two research pathways depending on whether you want a more industry-facing applied project or a more academically oriented dissertation.
You’ll enjoy a challenging, rewarding and rounded learning experience, covering fundamental topics such as corporate finance and corporate reporting while exploring emerging trends. Optional modules allow you to specialise in areas such as forensic accounting and Python programming for finance.
Our inspirational academics are influential thinkers with a real passion for their subject. Experts in their field, they have extensive teaching, research and internationally renowned consultancy experience, all of which feeds into the course.
The comprehensive, industry-aligned curriculum has equipped me with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in accounting and finance.
