Accounting & Finance

  A UK Honours degree at a minimum of lower second class (2:2) or an overseas equivalent (for example, for US degrees a final GPA of 3 or above) 

 Exceptionally, those without a 2:2 but with a minimum of 5 years’ managerial work experience in accounting and finance, including significant experience of strategic decision-making, may be admitted subject to supporting employer references.   

The following assessment strategies will be adopted to achieve the learning outcomes: 

 Examination (seen and unseen) 

 Coursework assignments (including problem solving activities, simulations, consultancy projects, individual and group reports, as well as more conventional written forms such as essays and other discursive assignments) 

 Course presentations 

 Reflective forms of assessment (e.g. portfolios, learner logs, and peer engagement)  

Successful completion may allow progression to the dissertation stage of master’s degrees at UK and overseas universities. .
