Accounting and Finance Loughborough University

Overview

The Accounting and Finance degree at Loughborough University combines academic theory with the opportunity to undertake a practical consultancy project and build critical assets for your CV.

The MSc Accounting and Finance programme provides a thorough grounding across both critical disciplines. This MSc caters for both those considering careers in professional accounting or the internal finance function of a wide range of organisations on the one hand, or banking and investment on the other.
