Course Overview

Discover how public, private, and third-sector organizations are funded and accounted for, as well as how they (and their investors) manage their finances.

Learn from the knowledge and real-world experience of research-active staff who have worked in the industry and so have real-world experience. Get a faster route to professional qualifications and a higher starting salary, with our professional accreditations which mean you are already part-qualified upon graduation.

It's a testament to the quality of their teaching that so many of our graduates go on to become accountants with the ‘Big Four’ accountancy firms: Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG, or organizations such as the IMF and World Bank.

You use the Business School's industry-standard facilities, like Bloomberg Financial Markets Laboratory, which you'll use to practice trading. Summer schools are also available with a range of overseas partners. 

Make connections with professional industry networks, like-minded entrepreneurs, and corporate partners in our newly enhanced Business Lounge. Conveniently located in the Business School, it’s a vibrant hub for organizations to collaborate and work creatively, as well as helping to build links with our programs, including placement and live business project opportunities that are embedded throughout your studies. It’s also a great space for our students to meet, learn from, and make an impression on decision-makers, laying the foundations for your future career – all on campus.
