Build your knowledge of accounting and sustainability practices, and enhance your career with our MSc International Accounting and Sustainability degree.

On our master's degree programme, you'll gain an advanced understanding of accounting and sustainability, and build on your prior knowledge and experience in the field. You'll also explore topics such as corporate governance, and the use of artificial intelligence in accounting.

The course contains a blend of theoretical, research and practice-led content, enabling you to develop deeper perspectives of accounting, financial and sustainability practices. You'll also understand how these practices are applied in organisations, as well as the wider context in which they operate.

Over the course of this 12-month programme, you'll learn how to:

  • effectively contribute to the improvement of financial information systems

  • evaluate and make informed managerial decisions on accounting and financial issues

  • critically evaluate accounting and finance ideas and techniques

  • prepare for your current or future career in an international accounting, sustainability, or consulting role

Our MSc International Accounting and Sustainability degree has a distinctive focus on sustainability and emerging environmentally-friendly technologies, including AI. You can choose to specialise in either of these subject areas and customise your learning.
