At Middlesex, you’ll develop the skills to work in any industry – locally, nationally or globally. With access to industry-standard software and paid work placements.

Our Business School brings people together to create and share knowledge and experience.

Our Accounting and Finance department have won two awards from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), one of our accreditation partners, recently. In 2022 we won the CIMA Campus Culture Excellence Award (Global Champion) for actively promoting employer involvement and engagement between students and industry partners, and the previous year we won the CIMA Employability Award.

Each year, many students gain placements and internships with accredited employers including NHS Finance, Barnet Accounting & Finance Enterprises.

Students can access software supported by Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg to complement classroom-based study.

Students have the opportunity to gain an industry level certificate in Xero Accounting and Xero Payroll. Xero is one of the most widely used accounting packages in the world, used predominantly by small and medium sized businesses. Training is an integrated aspect of all accounting undergraduate programmes and it gives students not only the skills to use Xero but also an understanding of how AI (artificial intelligence) can add value to accounting, from automated bookkeeping to generating reports and forecasts.

You can relax and make friends at our weekly accounting social club. Some lifelong friendships begin at the University.

You can enhance your skills and employability prospects by supporting local businesses through our department’s tax and accounting clinic.

We have 145 years of experience delivering professional, creative and technical education that prepares students – like you – for success in global careers.
