Course Summary
Description
Our innovative MSc Accounting programme sits within Durham’s portfolio of Masters programmes. A one-year full-time programme, it provides an opportunity for you to develop an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of accounting as well as the critical thinking skills so valued by employers. The MSc in Accounting covers key accounting topics including financial statements and their preparation and analysis, the practical limitations of financial reporting, contemporary and evolving practice in financial and non-financial accounting and reporting, management information for decision-making, and the practice and concepts of auditing.
This is an ideal programme to choose if you’re looking to pursue a career in accountancy. The programme is intended for graduates in any subject or discipline; no previous study in accounting is necessary. Accounting undergraduate students, or students who have completed a professional accounting qualification may find some content of this programme overlaps with their prior learning.
Core and elective modules
To achieve your qualification you will need to successfully complete six core modules, two elective modules and a dissertation or research project.
You will study the below core modules:
- Auditing and Assurance Services
- Corporate Governance
- Financial Accounting and Reporting
- Financial Planning and Control
- Modern Accounting Research
- Research Methods in Accounting
You will then choose two electives from a range. Elective modules are drawn from Accounting, Management, Marketing and Islamic Finance disciplines, subject to availability.
Dissertation/Business Project
In the third term, you will carry out an original research project. This may be an independent piece of work or alternatively you may decide to develop a more applied project with an appropriate organisation. Supervised by a faculty member with relevant experience, you will investigate in greater detail a subject that you have already studied as part of your programme.
This is an opportunity for you to develop your business insight and present your analysis and ideas in a scholarly and professional manner.
