University of Edinburgh Business School

The MSc in Accounting and Finance runs for one calendar year, starting in mid-September. A comprehensive induction week provides an introduction to the School, the Programme and the University. Designed to be both informative and fun, it enables you to get acquainted with your fellow classmates.

The taught component of the programme consists of eight courses in total, four in the first semester and four in the second semester. These are the foundation upon which the whole MSc is built and ensures a common basis of knowledge across the different areas.

In Semester 2, you also begin to tailor your studies towards your career interests, through the selection of one or two option courses.

Finally, your MSc dissertation brings all this learning together in a piece of work unique to each student.
