This is a full MBA with an accounting and finance specialisation. Core MBA modules cover strategy, leadership, marketing and entrepreneurship, and specialist modules cover financial accounting and IFRS, corporate finance, management accounting, Islamic finance and financial technology.
A single-subject professional qualification such as ACCA or CFA builds technical competency in one area. This MBA builds cross-functional executive capability on top of it.

- An accountant or auditor moving from a technical track into finance leadership.
