Accounting and Finance

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 program 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 program 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 program is an excellent way to deepen your skills and gain a well-recognised postgraduate qualification.
