MSc Accounting and Finance

For the MSc you will usually need:

• A good honours degree with an accounting background
• If English is not your first language, you will also need IELTS 6.5 with 5.5 in each skills area.

To take advantage of the dual learning offered by the MSc programme, you will need:

• A good honours degree in Accounting which provides exemptions from the first 9 ACCA papers or to have passed ACCA F1-F9.
• To be registered with ACCA - this will be your own responsibility.

Choosing to study a postgraduate course is a positive investment in your future, but as with undergraduate courses, you should consider how you will pay for your studies and living costs.

The majority of students can apply for loans to help fund their studies. And depending on where you live and your circumstances, bursaries and scholarships might also be available.
