The Accounting and Finance department has done well in recent sets of rankings. In the second annual Financial Times ranking of pre-experience Masters in Finance programmes, Strathclyde retained its rank as the top MSc for Finance in Scotland. Only the top 35 programmes from across the globe made the ranking, which was completed based on survey responses from MSc Finance graduates from 2008/09.
It is anticipated that these rankings will be of importance to applicants in a highly competitive global market for courses of this nature. The results for Strathclyde show 94% of graduates who were looking for work obtained jobs within three months of completing their programme.
The full ranking can be viewed on the Financial Times website.
The Good University Guide 2013, produced by The Times, currently ranks Accounting & Finance 2nd in the UK, and the department has consistently stayed in the top 5 year-on-year.
The Complete University guide for 2013 also ranked the Accounting and Finance department 4th in the UK and, again, 1st in Scotland:
