Strong management of financial performance and accounts are key to the success of any organisation. At Manchester Met, we’ll help you find new ways to deal with the issues facing businesses. 

Home to global businesses

Manchester is one of the largest financial centres outside London, so you’ll have businesses like Deloitte and KPMG on your doorstep and plenty of opportunities to network with employers.

We also provide training courses for HMRC, BNY Mellon and PwC staff, so our teaching is current and relevant to industry professionals. We teach them in areas of tax, auditing and financial performance management. 

Building your expertise

We’ll cover a whole host of areas including international financial reporting standards (IFRS), corporate reporting, governance and risk management. You’ll also apply tools and models of finance theory to understand current challenges. 

Your dissertation will put your expertise to the test. It might involve working with an employer to investigate a business issue or answering a challenging research question.

Past students have explored nuclear companies, exchange rate fluctuations, and alignment between performance measurement and strategy.

When you graduate, you'll have the knowledge and experience to work in large and small organisations in the private and public sector. It’s likely that your experience could also help you progress into more senior roles.

Because our course content relates to international financial reporting standards, your degree could take you anywhere: New York City, Singapore, Frankfurt and more.

Your extensive knowledge and skills could be applied to a career in:

• Investment
• Insurance
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Hedge Funds
• Stocks and Shares
• Financial Planning

Graduates from this course have gone on to take up positions including Trade Administrator at BNY Mellon and Audit Assistant at PwC Malaysia. 

But the opportunities are limitless, you could set up your own business, carry on postgraduate research, take further professional accountancy examinations and more.
