MSc Accounting and Finance with CIMA with Professional Practice allows you to develop not only a solid academic underpinning to support your career but also builds in a semester long professional internship to develop practical, in-industry skills. The combination of the theoretical and the practical leaves you with the ideal mix of experiences that employers are looking for. 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. This course will appeal to those who already have a background in Accounting and Finance and want to gain a master’s qualification and an accelerated route to chartered status. 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. As a student on this course, you have access to our on-campus Business Gateway and Business Innovation Zone (BIZ). This provides business incubation space for student/graduate-led start-up companies with access to: desk space; a QMU business address; meeting facilities; Business Gateway support and advice; a profile for your company on the QMU website; support with marketing materials; and access to entrepreneurial networks within QMU and other universities, eg Enterprise Campus, Scottish Institute for Enterprise, Sporting Chance and Converge Challenge
