Course director: Dr Sheikh Rahman
This course has been designed specifically for those students who have completed an accounting-specific undergraduate degree or related discipline or have membership in a recognised professional accounting body, and who want to enhance and develop their knowledge and skills especially with a view to senior management responsibilities. The postgraduate diploma encompasses studies at an advanced level in financial and managerial accounting, finance, and investments. Students complement their learning of theoretical concepts by using a wide range of practical applications and case studies. Students also gain insight into research methodologies and techniques which extend and support their learning and expose them to the contemporary issues and problems confronting senior managers of modern enterprises.
Applicants require a pass degree with a major in the discipline of accounting or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution or a recognised professional accounting qualification.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should refer to the Syme Department of Accounting as to the 1997 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
