Overview

The University of Essex MRes Accounting is designed for those wishing to follow a career in research and/or academia. It is the ideal first step for students who hope to progress to doctoral studies, such as PhD. Essex equips students with the skills and knowledge to appreciate the depth and breadth of accounting theories and techniques and apply these within a social science context. The content of the course is a direct response to requirements for, and suggested improvements in, research training laid down by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Students deepen their thinking about accounting and develop a broader understanding of the changing roles and perception of accounting within an ever-changing social context. Students develop knowledge and understanding of: research skills, both quantitative and qualitative; theoretical stances underpinning different approaches to research; how to design a research proposal, including construction of research questions and hypotheses; launching and managing a research project. Students study at Essex Business School, ranked 25th in the UK for research quality. In addition, 75% of their research was deemed world leading or internationally excellent. Essex's expert staff are a combination of leading academics and practitioners at the forefront of accounting research. For example, Emeritus Professor Prem Sikka is a world-renowned critic of tax avoidance and has been quoted in The Guardian, The Huffington Post and The Independent. Students benefit from the very latest thinking in: corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, accounting in the public and third sector, and accounting in emerging economies.
