课程特征 Course Features:
Recent events have revealed the need for a new breed of financiers who think more critically and who are prepared to challenge theories. Our MSc in Accounting & Finance will explore how accounting and reporting decisions taken affect markets and companies, as well as studying accounting in its wider social context.
WBS is home to the Warwick Finance Research Institute (WFRI), a centre of excellence in the field, which contains the Financial Options Research Centre (FORC) and the Financial Econometrics Research Centre (FERC). We also have very strong Accounting and Finance subject groups, and a new PhD in Finance available. The staff who will teach you while you are here are second to none.
WBS benefits from excellent links to key financial institutions and employers who support our Finance courses. Our course has benefited from a range of recommendations following consultation with the Bank of England, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and many of our alumni.
