Accounting and Finance MRes

University of Liverpool

Our Accounting and Finance MRes is an Economic and Social Research Council recognised degree, which will introduce you to a broad range of traditional research methodologies and emerging techniques. This course is an excellent ‘springboard’ for a PhD in accounting and finance, but you can also study it as a standalone master’s degree to get ready for research-focused roles in commercial, policy and professional organisations. You’ll gain a deep understanding of key theories corporate finance, financial accounting and asset pricing, and essential skills to design and undertake empirical research in these areas. You’ll be taught by leading academics who regularly publish in top-tier international journals and have substantial experience in writing and undertaking research grants. MRes courses place more emphasis on research skills, so if your goal is not to move on to a PhD or research-focused roles, we recommend you consider a specialist master’s degree instead. This programme is delivered in-person at our emblematic Liverpool campus. UK, Republic of Ireland and international students can study this MRes on a full-time basis, while UK and Republic of Ireland students also have the option to study part-time.
