A fundamental requirement of any successful organisation is to be able to manage its accounting and financial activities efficiently and effectively. This requirement has become more obvious in recent times as organisations have faced turbulent economic conditions, lending difficulties, risk management issues and the criticisms of governance. Our MSc Finance and Accounting degree is designed to enable you to become a critical member of an organisation’s core management team. Through theoretical and empirical literature, case studies and interacting learning and teaching, you will develop a strong core knowledge of institutional, accounting and financial modelling frameworks. You will explore the operation of markets, their major participants and the regulatory environment, as well as building a firm understanding of corporate finance, basic accounting and financial analysis. In your third semester, you’ll choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use your skills in a real-world setting, you can choose from completing a consultancy experience project or a business research project. What you'll gain from this degree? - An understanding of traditional and current theoretical principles, models and frameworks of strategic accounting and strategic financial management. - An ability to apply knowledge, tools and techniques to resolve issues in new and diverse situations within the accounting discipline. - A critical approach in evaluating the rigour and validity of published research and assessing its relevance to the practice of accounting. - An understanding of the wider social, environmental and economic sustainability issues and their interrelationships which may be impacted by or have an impact on organisational activities. Nottingham Business School is proud to have achieved the prestigious triple crown of international accreditations with EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. This is the highest international benchmark of excellence for business schools.
