This master’s degree has been developed in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and offers the opportunity for students to obtain in one year a master’s degree, a prestigious professional qualification (CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting) and the maximum 11 exemptions from CIMA’s certificate, operational and management level examinations.
The aim of the course is to provide students with both the necessary technical skills expected of a part-qualified accountant and the critical analysis skills expected of a master’s degree graduate. Students graduating with the MSc will have expertise in the key areas of financial reporting, management accounting and corporate finance and will also have critical awareness of how these areas contribute to a company’s strategic management. Additionally, you will develop your employability skills such as teamwork, leadership and oral communication skills.
Applicants should have a UK honours degree or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. We also welcome applicants with an ordinary degree who can show a period of relevant postgraduation work experience or additional capabilities.
