This course has been designed to develop the knowledge, skills, research interests and career prospects of those who work, or wish to work, in finance, treasury management or accountancy. It’s especially useful if you’re a graduate with little or no accounting experience, as it offers the opportunity to study modules which will cover this shortfall. If you are a graduate member of a UK accountancy body, or an overseas equivalent, you may claim up to four exemptions from this Masters by applying for Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning. This would enable you to complete the taught part of the course in one semester. The course provides exemption from up to seven papers of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) exams. The Westminster Business School is a Gold approved learning partner and one of just three UK institutions where students qualify for so many ACCA exemptions on completion of a one-year course.

As an MSc Finance and Accounting graduate, you can look forward to excellent career prospects in finance, banking, treasury management or accountancy, as well as general management and other senior finance-based positions. A number of our graduates have gone on to work for the "Big 4" accountancy firms. Your exposure to the Financial Markets Suite simulated financial trading facility will mean you will be equipped in both the theory and practice of international finance. The MSc Finance and Accounting gives exemption from seven papers of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) examination
