qualification. The multi-disciplinary skills and the high ethical standard of these leaders
contribute hugely to the success of their organisations. Combining our rich corporate
experience and academic excellence, the NUS MSc in Accounting degree is a

disciplinary — into an individual who is ready to take on the opportunities and challenges in
the new digital world. An MSc in Accounting graduate equipped with a blend of accounting
and data analytic skills will either rise as a more finance-savvy executive in the same
organisation or branch out to a new role not previously thought possible, like an auditor,
a data analyst, an equity analyst, an M&A advisor or even an entrepreneur.”
