Master of Science - Finance and Accounting

In the first semester, students develop a strong core knowledge of institutional, accounting and financial modelling frameworks. Students will explore the operation of markets, their major participants and the regulatory environment, as well as building a firm understanding of corporate finance, basic accounting and financial analysis.

In the third semester, students choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use their skills in a real-world setting, students can choose from completing a consultancy experience project, an in-company experience project, a business research project or a global experience project.

The Finance and Accounting course has been created in collaboration with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) institute. The modules are aligned with the institution’s own qualifications, which students can work towards upon completion of their degree. The CFA credential is held by over 150,000 professionals around the world. The charter gives a strong understanding of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills. This course allows students a quicker route to the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Professional Qualification and the global professional designation of Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA). The CIMA Professional Qualification is recognised worldwide as the most relevant global finance qualification for a career in business.
