Course Overview

Offered by University of Essex, the MSc Accounting and Financial Management provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in business and management. Based in Colchester, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 1-year full-time and part-time structure.

We provide a comprehensive grounding in corporate analysis and reporting, as well as building your confidence in financial decision-making. International tuition fees are £24,675 per year, home/UK fees are £15,750 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission.
