Ranked 1st in Ireland and 1st in Western Europe for Accounting (Eduniversal 2021), this programme gives non-accounting graduates the opportunity to fast-track their career towards becoming a qualified accountant and focuses on the fundamentals of financial accounting, management accounting, corporate finance, audit, taxation and related areas. The programme provides significant exemptions from the examinations of professional accountancy bodies.
