Students will typically spend 8 hours per week in lectures, in groups of only 20 students. They will spend approximately 4 hours per semester in tutorial sessions and up to 2 hours per semester in seminars, in groups of 10-15. Practical skills sessions account for another 2 hours each week.

    RGU’s Financial Management program is of interest both to potential accountants and to those who aspire to management roles within nearly any type of company.

This could lead to a career in an investment institution, an accountancy or consultancy firm, a domestic or international bank, or in wholesale or retail commerce. Other students will pursue a PhD or other research degree.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in an MSc, a PgDip or a PgCert award.

    Students must typically have achieved a 2:2 or better undergraduate degree before they can apply, but other qualifications are also accepted. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An IELTS score of 6.5 overall with no section lower than 6.0 would qualify, for example.
