Studying International Accounting and Finance at RDBS

This specialist academic programme has been designed to enhance students' understanding of the international aspects of accounting and finance within organisations. As the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are increasingly being adopted, studying international accounting is becoming relevant for those who want to pursue a career in this domain.

Participants will gain a good understanding of the implications that international accounting and finance issues have on the financial decisions that businesses make, and develop their knowledge of both the theoretical and practical aspects of international accounting and finance, and the current issues in these areas. The programme seeks to develop a critical awareness of the principles and techniques required to make effective financial decisions and provides an understanding of econometrics techniques and research skills.
