Location of University of Westminster
The course has been designed specifically to develop the knowledge, skills, research interests and career prospects of those who are already working in, or wish to work in, the areas of finance, treasury management or accountancy. It will be especially useful if you are a graduate with little or no accounting experience, as you will have the opportunity to study modules which will cover this shortfall.
Graduate members of professional accountancy bodies may be able to claim Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning for exemption from up to three modules, and can concentrate on developing their knowledge of aspects of accounting and finance relevant to the current market. The course provides exemption from seven papers of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) exams.
