The Programme consists of the completion of 30 credits of structured modules, completion of a written thesis and a vive voce examination. The 30 credits of structured modules will comprise 15 credits in transferrable skills and 15 credits in a subject related area. The timing of these credits will be agreed between the student and the supervisor(s) but it is anticipated that at least 10 credits in transferrable skills will be taken in year 1.
Modules taken can be drawn from the suite of existing University modules listed below and in the case of discipline specific modules, also from modules available in other Institutions. The list below may be extended by additional relevant modules that may be offered by the Graduate School or individual Schools and Departments within the University over time.
The discipline specific modules will be agreed between the supervisors and the student over the course of the
programme.

The M.Litt. programme in Accounting creates a framework that complements and supports independent research in the field of accounting, whilst providing milestones through which the graduate student will advance, and structured educational inputs to support and develop the student. Students will be introduced to the components of advanced research and will be encouraged to actively participate in academic communication and publishing where applicable. The rigorous nature of the structure aims to ultimately extend the student’s capability to contribute to theory and develop new knowledge as they proceed through their research project. Alongside exceptional research training and support, the structured M.Litt. in Accounting also aims to provide research graduates with the requisite skills to engage with broader business and civil communities outside academic contexts. M.Litt. students generally start their programme in either September or January.
Notes:
- All students should consult with their supervisor before registering for modules. This is especially important in the first year of your research studies as not all modules are suitable for Year 1 students.
- Modules with a FM or GST prefix are managed by the Research Development Office. Please consult with your supervisor before registering for these modules.
- Students who wish to register for FM and GST modules in semester 2 must contact the MU Research Skills Development Programme rsdp@mu.ie.
