Why Finance

Middlesex University Dubai’s finance programme opens doors to global professional standards through exclusive partnerships with ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW—which means students can tackle exams more efficiently while benefiting from reduced certification fees. The close collaboration with CFA Institute ensures curricula align with industry demands, and interactive seminars paired with professional software like Xero, Sage, and OneSource help sharpen practical skills that matter in the field.

BA Honours Accounting and Finance

The BA Honours Accounting and Finance at Middlesex University Dubai dives deep into numbers and strategy, covering everything from financial and management accounting to taxation and business law—with a focus on how these elements drive global corporate success. Students develop analytical thinking and IT literacy through group projects and case studies that teach teamwork, while discussions refine communication skills needed in competitive business environments.

First Year at Middlesex University Dubai

The first year lays the groundwork with six core modules, including financial accounting and corporate responsibility, which build a solid foundation. Innovative tools like the My Learning platform add flexibility by letting students choose their preferred format—even podcasts—while exposure to professional standards from day one immerses them in real-world contexts.

Second Year

The second year shifts focus as management accounting and business law teach the connection between figures and strategy. Electives like financial project management broaden horizons, while discussions on corporate governance and evolving financial principles sharpen trend analysis—skills that later become a competitive edge in adapting to fast-changing market conditions.

Third Year

The final year brings everything together: corporate finance and taxation courses combine with electives like audit and assurance to personalize each path. Capstone projects become the culmination, requiring students to apply theory to complex cases that mimic real workplace scenarios—an approach that builds confidence and creates portfolios impressive enough to catch employers’ attention.

Career Opportunities

Graduates from this programme at Middlesex University Dubai regularly join Big Four firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC) and Grant Thornton as trainee accountants or financial risk analysts. The degree serves as a springboard since many immediately begin preparing for ACCA or CIMA exams, which opens paths to leadership roles and higher salaries—while the career centre supports this journey with internships and networking that turn career starts into conscious takeoffs.
