Organisational needs continue to adapt with the changing world we live in. Quantitative skills alone are no longer sufficient to meet the multifaceted requirements of roles in accounting and financial management. We have designed our MSc in Accounting and Financial Management with this evolving landscape in mind. Our MSc will equip you to tackle the most pressing current issues in accounting and financial management. During your studies you will explore innovative topics from the role of technology, data, and ethical decision-making, to the integration of sustainability principles.

This MSc replaces our previous MSc in Accounting & Finance.
