Job cuts, redundancies, training cut-backs ..... these are the headlines .... but surprisingly our MSc in Accounting programme does remarkably well in times of recession.

When you are worried about your own job security it makes sense to make yourself more employable ... or even learn skills that can help you start your own business.

The MSc in Accounting  can help you:

bulletProve yourself more valuable to your employer than perhaps they thought you were (avoid the threat of redundancy)
bulletGet into part-time of full time Accounting teaching  (Increase your options)
bulletUse the magic MSc letters after your name on new business cards
bulletPut you ahead of other candidates in the job market
bulletProvide credibility with banks and other advisers if you decide to start your own business
bulletDevelop networks with other people on the programme that can lead to a new career

It's difficult to justify four or five thousand pounds when you might be staring at some tough times ahead, but think of it this way.  You have already got credit for roughly half of a Masters qualification by virtue of your professional accounting qualification and it would cost you four or five times as much to get a typical MBA.

And amazingly your employer might be more inclined to pay for your course if it is seen as part of a redundancy package.   We have had several students enrol on the programme under these circumstances and it's worked brilliantly for the student and the soon-to-be ex-employer.

A recent article in the Times newspaper took an in-depth look at the situation and concluded that it was worth making the 'serious investment in yourself' .... and that was for a typical MBA at £30,000.  The MSc in Accounting seems to us a much better value investment.  Here's the link to the Times article - the relevant material is near the end of the article.
