Internal Audit Management and Consultancy, Postgraduate Taught - MSc - 2022/23 entry

The Course is divided into 8 modules and is aligned to the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and Chartered Internal Auditor (CMIIA) qualifications. The course has been carefully mapped against the IAP Apprenticeship Standards and End Point Assessment (EPA), to the syllabi of the CIA and CMIIA and the IIA Incs suggested syllabus from the Internal Audit Educators Partnership programme, which has awarded this course its highest accreditation as a ‘Centre of Excellence.

The first 5 modules of the course are designed to support the CIA syllabus in particular and thereby enable students who wish, to sit the CIA professional exams. For clarity the University does not hold any dual award or exemptions with the IIA Inc. for the CIA exams and therefore students must sit these in order to gain the CIA qualification.

The last 3 modules are then connected to CMIIA qualification. Our agreement with the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors – UK & Ireland, means that students can achieve the CMIIA if they meet the following criteria:

• Are a member of the Chartered IIA during and at the completion of their study with the University and the Chartered IIA.
• They hold the CIA
• They have successfully completed the MSc
• They successfully complete the final CMIIA assessment with the Chartered IIA
• They successfully complete the Chartered Membership interview with the Chartered IIA.
