Accounting & Finance

This four-year program prepares you for a career in professional accountancy and finance and can lead to contact with an accounting practice. You don’t need to have studied any Leaving Certificate Accounting, Business or Economics subjects. We start at an introductory level, which will prepare you for the more complex concepts that you meet at a later stage in the program. All modules gradually develop students’ knowledge with each module building on the knowledge acquired in previous semesters. One of the core goals of our department is to enrich the development of our graduates to maximize their employment potential and we embrace the ‘T Graduate’ concept as a model to achieve this. Our core disciplinary skills, as exemplified in the ‘T Graduate’ concept, are evidenced in the exemptions awarded by professional bodies.  We complement these skills with strong interpersonal and computer skills.  Along with obtaining skills in accounting packages, the management of big data, and an understanding of the digital enablers for accountants, students will also have the opportunity to obtain Microsoft Professional Accreditation.
