Overview

The Accounting and Finance degree at Loughborough University combines academic theory with the opportunity to undertake a practical consultancy project and build critical assets for your CV.

The MSc Accounting and Finance programme provides a thorough grounding across both critical disciplines. This MSc caters for both those considering careers in professional accounting or the internal finance function of a wide range of organisations on the one hand, or banking and investment on the other. The programme also offers vital knowledge and skills for those interested in setting up and sustaining new ventures.

This MSc in Accounting and Finance is an ideal choice if you have a non-finance, business related undergraduate degree and are looking to transition into either an accounting or finance career. Alternatively, if you have a background in accounting or finance, this programme is an excellent way to deepen your skills and gain a well-recognised postgraduate qualification.

Your future career

You will graduate with a broad knowledge of accounting and finance and a deeper understanding of your chosen specialism. This programme prepares you to embark on various career paths, including roles in accountancy, commercial firms, taxation, finance, and banking. You can pursue further professional qualifications in accounting and financial management as you advance in your career.

Accounting and finance graduates are highly sought-after by employers globally in a diverse range of fields, the most popular being accountancy, business, management, consulting, and finance.

Graduates of our master's programmes are forging successful careers with major global banks, large businesses and leading accountancy firms such as KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, BAE, HSBC, Ernst & Young, and Grant Thornton.

General requirements

A 2:2 honours degree with a minimum of 55% or equivalent international qualification. It is helpful, but not essential, to have studied a subject with a quantitative element such as business, accounting, economics, mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry, geography, computer science or data analytics.

We will consider applicants who have taken subjects that do not have a quantitative element but ask them to do some pre-course reading before the start of the programme. No prior finance study is required. Applicants with relevant professional experience or professional qualifications would be welcomed.
