Can I opt for a Master?s in Accounting programme with an unrelated undergraduate degree??<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A. <\/strong>Depending upon the university you are applying to, a non-related degree can be considered to pursue Master?s in Accounting as long as you have covered courses like economics, accounting and mathematics.?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q. What kind of careers does a degree in accounting and finance open up for me??<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A. <\/strong>A degree in accounting and finance can prepare you for a financial career in any professional organisation. However, it is more relevant for people who wish to work in the following areas:?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investment management, security analysis and broking<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capital markets, trading and risk management<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venture capital or private equity<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hedge funds<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retail and commercial banking?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investment banking etc.?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Q. What is the difference between a regular and a chartered accountant??<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A. <\/strong>Technically, anyone can hold the title of accountant, regardless of the degree they hold or what education they may have in the field of accounting. A chartered accountant, however, must retain a membership in organisations like the Institute of Chartered Accountants or the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. These organisations will only allow membership after a series of examinations have been cleared by the candidate and they have accumulated a predetermined amount of work experience.?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q. Is accounting a difficult subject??<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A. <\/strong>As with any subject, it depends upon the aptitude of the candidate. If you have a penchant for numbers and data, the subject of accounting will come naturally to you. However, students in accounting courses have to prepare themselves to work hard as they will have to take courses in not just accounting, but business, economics and mathematics as well.?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Payscale, a popular compensation and job data collection website, 70% of accounting students in the UK receive a graduate-level work position within 6 months of the completion of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":1416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,59,44],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 -
