By maintaining close links with business, professional and commercial organisations in the accounting and finance areas, the Department ensures both that the education our students receive is relevant and practical in the eyes of future employers, and that there is true cross-fertilisation between industry and academia in terms of research value.
The department constantly reviews and develops its activities in interaction with business, professional, public sector and commercial organisations in order to realise and enhance the value of its research.
