DIPLOMA IN ACCOUNTING AND TAXATION

Introduction to the Course

The Diploma in Accounting is a qualification in its own right, designed for students with little or no background in accounting and finance. It would also be an ideal programme if you have some background in accounting and finance and would like to extend your knowledge and understanding in areas of special interest, or if you require a greater depth of knowledge before pursuing postgraduate study.

It is a flexible programme, providing a solid training and foundation in accounting, including mathematical skills for more advanced master’s elective courses. You will be able to both specialise in accounting and select from a wide range of courses available throughout the School.

The programme is housed within the Department of Accounting, which is widely recognised for its excellence in accounting as well as for its leading role in public policy issues. The interface between accounting and managers, organisations, institutions, public policy and regulatory bodies is a particular teaching and research strength of the Department.
