M.Sc Accounting, Finance and Regulation (Fast-track)
Today’s global, technology-driven and increasingly competitive financial market is almost unrecognizable from that of five years ago. Finance executives and specialists are required to apply the same in-depth knowledge and adept skill to an ever-growing, far-reaching number of products, regulations, and technologies.
While new technologies continue to emerge and rules and regulations change, now more than ever, a digitally-focused, more confident skillset is needed. The MSc Accounting, Finance, and Regulation from Glasgow Caledonian University provide you with the confidence and insight to take your existing skills further in your organization or through further academic study.
Fast track option available
Complete the MSc in just eight months when you already hold a professional qualification. A full professional qualification from any accountancy body in the world that is recognized by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) provides you with 90 credits towards the MSc. Join us in January on a fast track route that takes just eight months to complete and comprises two subject-specific modules; Strategic Financial Management and Financial Risk Modelling, and the Master's Research Project.
