Master in Accounting and Finance

Master in Accounting and Finance is one of 3 English-taught Accounting programmes at Master's Degree level in the register, offered by 2 institutions. 3 of them list an annual fee for students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, from EUR 8,000 to EUR 15,000; this programme lists EUR 15,000 a year. 2 are recorded as free for EU, EEA and Swiss students.

This is a two year master's at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, taught in English. It sits under the Economics and Business Administration degree and the specialisation is Accounting and Finance. The programme is for students who want to work with the financial decisions a firm makes and the models behind them.

What you study

The register description is short, so here is what it actually says. You work with key financial issues inside an enterprise and build the basis for managing a firm's financial decisions. That means looking at the challenges and opportunities of putting financial models into practice, and analysing and evaluating specific financial management decisions.

You gain insight into financial markets, instruments and policies, and the methods and models used to evaluate them. You also learn to formulate and solve advanced models in finance and to manage the financial functions of a firm, for example when acting as a CFO. The description stresses that financial models support management decisions in all types of organisations, not only finance departments.

Admission, language and next steps

To be qualified, you normally need a BSc in Economics and Business Administration from a university. If your bachelor is from a university and includes at least 75 ECTS in economics and business administration, it can be assessed as equivalent. Applicants with a professional bachelor degree or another qualifying degree may be admitted if they meet certain demands.

You may also need to document your English at a specified level; check the university's language requirements. Teaching is in English. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other students pay a tuition fee set by the institution. SDU offers a number of scholarships each year, and you can read about them on the university's tuition pages.
