Key facts

This course is designed in collaboration with a professional body which qualifies you both academically and professionally: This collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) offers the opportunity for students to obtain a master’s degree, a prestigious professional qualification (CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting) and the maximum 11 exemptions from CIMA’s certificate, operational and management level examinations.

Teaching expertise and care: The course is taught by professionally qualified chartered accountants and academics with industry and research expertise. With the small class size, you will be able to learn from a caring team of finance professionals who will prioritise your career development.
