A career in accounting, financial services or related sectors of the economy requires a high level of understanding of both the theory and practice of accounting and finance.

The MSc Accounting and Finance is recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council as postgraduate preparation for a PhD. It also holds the award of partnership status from the CFA Institute, the global association for investment professionals.
