The MBS Corporate Finance and Accounting allows students to assimilate, communicate and apply knowledge within the disciplines of Accounting and Finance rather than describing current practice.
Students who are interested in undertaking a Masters degree in the Finance area with a greater research emphasis should see the MSc Finance.
The main difference between the MBS Corporate Finance and Accounting and the MSc programmes is that the former, while incorporating a minor thesis, is mainly taught, while the MSc programmes require a major thesis.
Applications are invited for up to 3 Doctoral Studentships in Corporate Finance and/or up to 3 Doctoral Studentships in Accounting. The successful applicants will be expected to carry out doctoral research leading to the the award of the Ph.D degree, and to undertake (tutorial) teaching duties in Accounting and Finance subject to the requirements of the Department. The bursaries will be worth €20,000 annually and will be tenable for up to 3 years in each case, subject to performance in both research and teaching duties. For further information about these positions and for informal discussions relating to application, please email Dr Edel Barnes at e.barnes@ucc.ie or telephone +353 21 4902506.
The Department has also recently introduced a one-year Higher Diploma in Accounting & Corporate Finance, designed for students who wish to pursue a career in either of these fields, but who have not studied a significant amount of accounting and/or finance in their primary degrees.
The Department also jointly offers the MBS in Management Information & Managerial Accounting Systems with Business Information Systems and contributes to the Masters in Business Administration .
