Programme information

Accounting is the backbone of any company; without it, profit, people and products cannot exist. Financial information needs to be gathered, interpreted and checked in order to be able to make business decisions. As a graduate of Accountancy, you can become a Financial Consultant, Auditor or many other positions in the financial world.

What will you learn?
Your education will focus on the four main accounting areas: financial accounting, management accounting, auditing (assurance services) and information management (accounting and information systems). You will tackle these from both a theoretical and a practical point of view.

At the end of the track, you will be able to:

• design internal accounting systems that help management decision-making on issues such as pricing, make or buy, and mergers and acquisitions
• prepare, read and interpret financial statements
• provide assurance on the reliability of reporting mechanisms, such as annual reports
