Graduates of this programme may wish to pursue postgraduate studies on our MBA programme. They can also gain substantial examination exemptions from the following professional accountancy bodies: ACCA, CPA, and ACA.

While typical careers focus on the world of finance and accounting in particular, any aspect of the business arena is open to graduates. A significant advantage is the many exemptions from the professional exams for which graduates of the course are eligible. Students who do not wish to focus on a career as an accountant will find numerous opportunities in banking, stockbroking, currency trading, management, insurance or positions in the financial sector.
