The program curriculum aligns closely with Chartered Accountants Ireland's (CAI) CAP2 syllabus. As a result, graduates can obtain substantial exemptions from CAI exams. Those completing the MAcc receive full CAP2 exam exemptions, provided they already had full CAP1 exemptions prior to enrollment.
Career Prospects
Graduates enjoy diverse career options, especially in accounting and tax consulting fields. Notably, most students receive sponsorship (and subsequent employment) from leading accounting firms like KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and EY.
This program accelerates your path to becoming a chartered accountant.
The MAcc cultivates the cross-disciplinary and social competencies essential for excelling in professional examinations and accounting careers.
With an ideal class size of 30 students, the program balances personalized faculty guidance with opportunities to hone teamwork skills that employers prioritize.
