Course Overview

TUS Athlone is delighted to present our redesigned and updated MA in Accounting for September 2023. This course is a challenging, but rewarding one-year taught programme, running from September to August, with a new and updated syllabus.

The programme still maintains the generous exemptions from Chartered Accountants Ireland, such as the CAP 2 series of examinations, and from CPA Ireland, who offer graduates exemptions from 11 out of the 15 examination papers through their FastTrack programme. In addition, while maintaining the focus on preparing graduates for the accounting profession, the updated programme now incorporates a 30-credit Accounting Research Project. This module will encapsulate all the learnings from the taught component and offer students the opportunity to engage with the research literature to ensure the development of both practical and theoretical skills in the discipline.

If you have a degree in accounting or a general business with an accounting specialisation and would like to pursue a career in accounting, then this programme has been designed with you in mind.
