WSB Merito University in Warsaw offers Finance and Accounting as a master's degree taught in English over four semesters, at the Mokotów and Targówek sites. It is designed for graduates of a first-cycle degree who want to move from routine bookkeeping towards audit, tax advice and investment analysis.
You learn how accounting records are kept and financial statements are prepared, and how taxes connected with running a business affect the advice you can give a company. You also practise carrying out financial controls and taking part in audits, which opens the way to work as an auditor. Modern IT tools run through the course, so your analyses of financial risk and investment decisions are built on current technology rather than on paper.
The core classes include the public finance system, elements of financial law, management accounting, modern banking and the investment portfolio. Two titles show the wider view: the globalisation of financial markets, and macroprudential supervision with monetary policy. Social responsibility of business is taught from the angle of finance.
The single specialisation, Financial Market Analyst, adds classes such as:
Practical by design: subjects are passed through projects, presentations and written or oral exams, with a placement of professional practice built into the programme and a master's thesis at the end.
