Further details - an extract from the course handbook:

Completing the course requires taking 6 taught modules and a dissertation.

There are 4 compulsory modules:

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Governance and Accountability

Socially Responsible Finance

Research Methods for Accounting and Finance

The other 2 modules are options. This is to enable you to take subjects which will enable you to pursuer your own interests within the broad area of corporate social responsibility. You can take any modules offered within the university, as long as you meet the requirements of the module but you must have the agreement of the course leader that these are appropriate for your degree. It is expected that these modules will be of relevance for your dissertation.
