MSc
Summary
Financial management is a fundamental part of the decision-making, planning and control of any business, organisation, charity or enterprise. Successful management of working capital, selection and control of new capital investment opportunities and long-term financing requires an understanding of the scope and effects of the capital markets for a company and the strategic planning processes necessary to manage the long and short-term financial activities of a firm.
A key advantage of our Master’s course is the broad base of knowledge covered across both disciplines of accounting and finance. Our modules have been carefully selected to try to help you understand how global businesses use financial information for decision-making, performance evaluation and financial reporting purposes, exploring background knowledge of the external forces that can affect financial performance, such as heightened competition or fluctuating exchange rates.
During your study of financial reporting and interpretation, for example, we will introduce you to relevant accounting concepts and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in particular those relevant to group accounting, which aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the content and purpose of published financial statements produced by public limited companies.
While the depth of course content is not sufficient to provide membership to professional bodies the quantitative methods we teach are designed to be based on the requirements of the main accountancy bodies, encompassing statistical analysis, presentation and spreadsheet manipulation. We will help you explore the skills necessary to critically analyse and interpret financial statements and become aware of their limitations, giving due consideration to the accounting treatment of intangible non-current assets, the problems in attaching monetary values to these and how this impacts on the quality of financial statements.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Applicants should hold a good honours degree 2.2 or above in a relevant academic discipline, such as business or finance related subjects. Applications from candidates with relevant experience will be considered on an individual basis. |
