Course Overview

This degree program provides the opportunity to follow the prestigious CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) specialist pathway and acquire the skills to complete the CFA Level 1 examination (for both September-intake and January-intake students). Changes in the business environment create the need for individuals wishing to pursue a senior management role to be aware of contemporary accounting and finance developments. Understanding these theoretical and practical issues is critical for managers who often have to make rapid and far-reaching decisions about the short-term financial operations and long-term strategies of firms. The MSc in Accounting and Finance offers you a unique opportunity to develop an appreciation of the causes and significance of current developments in the financial and corporate sectors and to study advanced theory and practice relating to accounting and finance. The aim of the program is to provide graduates and other individuals that have practical accounting and financial training with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a senior-level professional career in accounting, financial services, or related sectors of the economy.

General Eligibility

Entry to the MSc program requires a good undergraduate degree (2ii) in a relevant subject, e.g. economics, finance, accounting, or management from a university, or a similar qualification from any other institution. Alternatively, possession of a suitable professional qualification and relevant practical experience may also be accepted. In general, however, applicants are judged on their individual merits, and age, work experience, and other factors are also considered. Bangor University also offers International Incorporated Masters Degrees for International students whose academic credentials are different from those outlined above. The first year is studied at the Bangor International College, an embedded College on our University campus, and delivered by Oxford International Education Group.
