At postgraduate level, we offer a variety of delivery and study options to meet the range of needs of our students, including on-campus, distance learning, condensed timetable and block teaching opportunities.Among our teaching staff we have accountants with years of professional experience - including from companies like Deloitte and KPMG - and economics academics who have worked in the city as traders and maintain links with policy makers.
