MSc Accounting and Finance

Arden University

Data sits at the centre of the MSc Accounting and Finance. You source and analyse live data sets from real business cases using industry-standard tools, then apply contemporary accounting and finance principles to strategic problems. Topics include the industry 4.0 business environment, blockchain, fintech services and distributed ledgers, and you evaluate how accounting and finance shape strategic planning, including mergers and acquisitions, pricing, capital expenditure and investment. If you already hold ACCA, CIMA or ICAEW qualifications, up to six module exemptions may be available, giving a faster route to the MSc. Study is part time and online. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with a Postgraduate Master’s Loan from Student Finance England.
