MSc Sustainable Accounting and Finance with Placement Year

This MSc in Sustainable Accounting and Finance emphasises important aspects of Accounting and Finance that relate to Climate Change: Accounting, because of its role in measuring and reporting firms’ financial performance and policies; and, Finance, through its ability to evaluate and price firms’ performance in financial markets. The course aims to prepare you so that you can actively participate in decision-making to resolve some of the pressing problems of Climate Change.

The aims and objectives of the course are in line with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) – the latter being a platform whose mission is to transform management education by developing responsible decision-makers who promote sustainable development. Furthermore, the Climate Change 2023 Synthesis Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calls on policy makers to achieve deep emission reductions to secure a sustainable future. The aims and objectives of the course are in line with these pressing developments, since it will enable you to understand how sustainability is measured and reported by firms, as well as how sustainability is valued in financial markets.
