The programme is based in the Department of Accounting and has an established reputation for excellence extending for over five decades. This programme is appropriate for those interested in careers across a wide range of sectors and organisations in accounting, finance, management and management consultancy, academia, or the public sector. Programme details The programme allows specialisation through the appropriate choice of courses along designated pathways in Finance, International Accounting and Finance, or Accounting and Financial Management. The MSc assumes an academic background in the following subjects prior to entry: financial reporting, management accounting, finance, economics and quantitative methods. Admission to the programme may be conditional upon taking one or more courses in these areas to strengthen your background. This may be a course undertaken at the LSE Summer School or an approved distance learning or web-based equivalent. Given the high competition for places on this programme, applicants who indicate an interest in the MSc Accounting and Finance specifically as their first choice will maximise their prospect of admission to the programme. A short, focused, introductory course on quantitative methods and technical accounting will be held at the beginning of the programme. Thereafter you take examined courses up to a total of four full units. The average number of contact hours per week is 12 hours, which includes lectures and seminars. Office hours with faculty and academic advisers provide further support to students on the programme. You should ordinarily possess at least a good upper second class honours degree in accounting and finance or a related subject from a UK university, or have reached a similar standard in an overseas degree. All applicants without a UK undergraduate degree must submit GMAT test scores with their application. The overall GMAT score should normally be in excess of 650 points. Applicants with UK undergraduate degrees, particularly those whose quantitative skills are not demonstrated by their undergraduate studies, may be asked to submit GMAT scores. Students currently studying on the Diploma in Accounting and Finance programme at LSE are not required to submit GMAT scores. In exceptional circumstances, applicants without a UK degree may be exempted from submitting GMAT scores. This may include cases where the requirement proves difficult for the individual to meet (eg, the test not being offered in the applicant's home country, or where test centres only have limited spaces available for testing). When this is the case, applicants should complete and submit the online GMAT waiver form. Candidates are advised that approvals of such requests for a waiver are stringent and seldom granted.
