MSc Accounting and Finance

Helen Fowler (2017), Audit Officer

The breadth of academic and professional learning opportunities included in my course was what attracted me to the University of Aberdeen's Business School. A particularly attractive prospect was the opportunity to enhance my CV with the ICAEW IFRS certificate, which was woven into the postgraduate course in Accounting and Finance and supported by intensive tutoring.

There are also several opportunities to connect with employers, including skills and networking sessions with the Big 4 accounting firms. The course has been a great challenge and a fantastic opportunity to expand my understanding, not only of my chosen subject area, but also of current developments in global business.

Overall, the quality of learning and teaching is outstanding. Teaching staff have excellent academic and professional credentials that they bring to their classes, and they are always happy to give valuable careers advice. All staff at the business school are unfailingly supportive and understanding, and doors are always open to students who need to discuss flexible study arrangements. My time at the Business School has also been an intensely multicultural experience, giving me the unparalleled opportunity to build friendships and make connections with students from diverse countries and cultures, and I have enjoyed every minute.
