Overview
Program Details
The MSc program in Accounting, Valuation & Financial Management offers a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum covering key areas such as financial reporting principles, business control, capital budgeting, financial analysis, and corporate valuation. Throughout all courses, we adopt an analytical and international perspective. For example, in our core financial reporting courses, we emphasize the fundamental concepts and principles underlying most international accounting standards, including IFRS. This focus ensures that the knowledge you gain remains relevant and valuable, even as specific accounting standards evolve. We view accounting as a language you need to understand in order to properly analyze and understand a business corporation.
As a top level program with a relatively low number of students, we can offer an intimate and creative learning environment. Our faculty (all active researchers) is engaged in pedagogical development and intrigued by the learning journey of our students.
The program is thoughtfully designed to encompass a variety of pedagogical methods such as lectures, group work, case teaching and a high degree of real-world examples. With close connections to the business community we are also able to have frequent guest lectures by top management of multinational firms.
After graduation
We are proud of our graduates and the choices they make with the opportunities afforded them. A degree from SSE opens doors to a wide range of careers and advanced studies.
