The top-up MSc Accountancy and Finance aims to provide CCAB qualified students with a more thorough grounding for their future professional career progression.  It extends their understanding and critical awareness of the major finance theories which underpin and inform a firms' strategic financial decisions, and on which modern Investment Analysis and Fund management are based.  The course will also provide students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained throughout their professional and postgraduate studies to a substantial piece of research on an accounting or finance related topic.

On successful completion of the course, students would have developed a more critical knowledge and understanding of the empirical evidence relating to core financial theories and gained additional practical and transferable skills and competences. This should enable them to operate effectively and confidently in middle/senior management roles of the accounting and finance profession across different industry sectors, as well as, Investment Banking and Fund Management.
