Master of Science - International Accounting and Finance

With a focus on the ever-changing global financial markets, this MSc in Accounting and Finance aims to equip graduates with highly employable expertise and a thorough understanding of current issues in global financial markets – both academically and professionally.

On this MSc students will take six main courses on the subject of international accounting and be offered a choice of one specialist per semester. These courses will give them an international perspective on accounting and help them understand things like national differences, harmonisation and the challenges and problems facing multinational companies.

Students will have the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge and expertise gained from courses in international banking, financial markets and accountancy to a subject of interest to them in their dissertation research project which is undertaken during the summer months.
