This programme offers a comprehensive platform to launch or progress your career in accounting and finance. Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional looking to broaden your expertise, this programme is designed to enhance your understanding of key financial principles and their application in the modern business world.

If you already have a Level 7 vocational qualification in accounting (and finance) such as the CGMA (CIMA), ACCA, ACA, ACAI or OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Accounting and Finance, you can apply to take the shorter top-up route comprising of just research methods and project.

You will gain deep insights into areas such as financial accounting, management accounting, corporate reporting, financial management, ethics, audit, taxation, assurance, and governance, with a strong focus on research, critical thinking, entrepreneurship, leadership, consultancy, and emerging technologies like AI and automation. By the end of the course, you will have developed not only essential technical skills but also critical leadership and decision-making capabilities. These skills will enable you to navigate global and local financial environments with confidence, applying ethical and sustainable practices to real-world business problems.

Improving our students’ learning experience and wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do, and that is why we are implementing an innovative learning approach known as block teaching. This will enhance our students’ educational journey and emotional wellbeing.

The benefits of block teaching are numerous: it supports a balanced study-life experience, reduces the stress of multitasking across various subjects, and fosters a better understanding of each topic by concentrating on it fully. Students are more engaged, motivated, and resilient, which can lead to better learning outcomes and a healthier environment.
