For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept an IELTS test (Academic module) from any of the 1000 IELTS test centres from around the world and we do not require a specific UKVI IELTS test for degree level programmes. We therefore still accept any of the English tests listed for admission to this programme.
This programme will provide you with current practical and theoretical knowledge of accounting and financial management. It focuses on internal corporate management, external corporate reporting and financial markets, all of which enables you to think critically about the financial business environment both throughout the degree and in your future career.
Our teaching across all areas of the curriculum is informed by current research in many disciplines including international financial reporting, management accounting and control, and corporate financial management.
As part of your studies you will be introduced to current research that will help you build your critical and analytical skills, which are beneficial for senior roles in many accounting, finance and related fields.
We offer a wide range of optional courses which allows you to gain expert knowledge in current issues affecting accounting and finance and gives you the opportunity to look into the broader social and environmental consequences of accountancy.
The MAcc in International Accounting & Financial Management has been taught at the Adam Smith Business School for more than 35 years.
You will have access to prestigious financial databases, such as Datastream, Thomson ONE, FAME and Amadeus, which will help develop your analytical and critical thinking skills and prepare you for your own dissertation research and for City life.

You will take four core and two optional courses, and complete a substantial piece of independent research work in the form of a dissertation on an accounting related theme.
Teaching will be blended; live classes delivered remotely (eg Zoom or Microsoft Teams), recorded lectures and face-to-face teaching. You will meet faculty, and with each other, both through our virtual learning environment and through face-to-face interactions. You will study on and off campus, as you do normally. The aim is to deliver as much synchronous face-to face teaching as we can, as well as for instance, classes in laboratories, seminars and guest lectures. At all times, we will put your health and safety first: this means closely following and reacting to national guidelines.
