Introduction

This programme explores accounting and finance through broader social sciences. You will encounter, through the programme, interdependencies between accounting and accountability, financial management and risk, performance management and sustainability, governance and regulation, policymaking and change.

The programme explores the role accounting and finance play in societies, economies, institutions, markets, organisations, and even individual behaviours. This interdisciplinary learning means that our graduates are highly sought-after in many areas, such as professional accountancy, investment banking and analysis, management consulting and financial management.
