This programme has had hundreds of success stories and is available for FREE, in 2017, through Springboard. The programme has been developed in close collaboration with Professional Accounting Bodies and has generous exemptions from CAI, ACCA, CPA and CIMA.
The programme also offers a two-month industry work placement and graduates from this programme have had very successful careers, following completion of their studies.
One such success story, and graduate from this programme is Grainne Boland.
Grainne successfully graduated from the MA in Accounting with a first-class honours award. Having returned to education in 2008, through hard-work, commitment and dedication she successfully completed her Accounting degree, followed by the MA in Accounting.

Grainne commented, “I knew that in order for me to progress my career opportunities, I had to return to education. I had been working in an office environment, in an accounting based role, and accountancy was very much where my skills lay.
“I was keen to focus on developing my accounting skills and through commitment, an ability to balance my workload, and also a positive outlook, I completed the MA in Accounting with first-class honours.
“The MA in Accounting gives amazing professional accounting exemptions. I went down the ACCA route after my Masters and the work I had completed through the MA really helped prepare me for my professional exams.”
Grainne further added, “The MA in Accounting has helped me stand out from the crowd, this programme is so highly respected by employers and industry, and the programme offers maximum exemptions from professional accounting exams even compared to other universities and colleges in the country. To have this highly respected programme on your doorstep is amazing and such a benefit to the region.
“If I had to do it again, I would. It requires dedication and commitment but it pays off in the end. I am currently working with Optum and part-time lecturing in Accounting at LYIT. All-in-all the MA in Accounting will serve you well, and leave you a step ahead of the rest.”
Accounting practices in the North West are very supportive of the programme. One practice has offered training contracts to every student they have had on placement from the MA.
Another practice commented that they would “give this programme our highest recommendation as a route to becoming a competent chartered accountant”.
