You’ll also be encouraged to pursue independent learning by making the most of all the events, exhibitions, conferences and museums which London has to offer.

Tutors

You’ll benefit considerably by being taught by tutors who have had international careers in accounting and finance. Their experience spans ‘big four’ firms and other multi-nationals and some continue to serve on business boards. There are PhDs on the staff and some undertake research or consult to businesses. Several are published, and most are senior fellows of at least one professional association. They are, however, friendly, accessible and supportive, happy to offer their experience to help you better understand your studies and how your career might develop.

Global perspectives and approaches are built into every aspect of this course, so you’ll graduate with a sound understanding of how different cultures, regulatory frameworks and even faiths can impact on accounting and finance practice.

You’ll study within an international cohort, with students drawn from around the world. You’ll very quickly appreciate the diverse ideas and perspectives they bring with them and which your tutors will encourage them to share. Should you choose to do an internship for your final major project, you could arrange a placement overseas or, if you’re an international student, in your home country.

On graduation, you’ll be ready to begin or advance a high-flying career in finance and accounting, or a related business discipline, anywhere in the world.

You’ll have a range of options when you graduate. You might sit the professional exams required to qualify as an accountant, but this is only one of many routes you could take. You might go into further study, such as a master’s degree or a PhD. You might return to your former employer, using your new qualification to release new career possibilities. You could join a business in a named permanent role or on a graduate programme.

Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be a more confident and skilled individual, adept at problem-solving and decision-making, with a solid understanding of international finance and how to balance risk and investment.
