The programme aims to provide students with a combination of core knowledge in accounting and finance and skills in applying data analytics and technology to related practices. It helps practitioners in accounting and finance to keep up with the latest data analytics applications and skills.
The programme emphasises:
To obtain the MSc, students must complete 9 Compulsory Subjects and 1 Elective (30 credits).
Students may graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) upon completing 7 Compulsory Subjects (21 credits).
Students can take either a full-time study load (9 credits or more in a semester) or a part-time study load (fewer than 9 credits in a semester). In general, one evening class per week will be scheduled for each subject in Semesters 1 and 2.
Depending on their study pace, students should normally be able to complete the programme full-time in 1 year and part-time in 2 years. Students will be required to attend more classes in the evening if they choose the full-time option and the duration of study will be subject to class quota availability.
The programme offers a semi-structured progression pattern, and students are encouraged to follow the pattern to benefit from a cohort-based study and to graduate within 1 year for the full-time option, or within 2 years for the part-time option.
