This programme provides a bridge from undergraduate studies for students planning a career in accounting who wish to obtain a masters? degree that enhances their employability and provides a solid grounding for an attempt to qualify as an ACCA. It will build upon the technical skills already acquired at undergraduate level by exploring contemporary theory, developing the more advanced professional skills, techniques and values that are required and used by the expert accountant acting in an advisory or consultancy role at senior level. The syllabus is based around the ACCA?s Professional level. It is though not officially endorsed by them. It should also be noted that ACCA do not give exemptions for the Professional level exams, so none are available by completing the programme. We do however envisage that after graduation students will be in a sound academic position to commence an attempt at the ACCA Professional Examinations. Careers Graduates of this programme are ideally placed to go on and study for the ACCA qualification and follow a career in accountancy. The flexibility of the ACCA Qualification means that it is not limited to one particular sector. If you go on to qualify as an ACCA member, then you will have the opportunity of working in any sector you choose, which could include public practice, the public sector, financial services or the corporate sector, giving you access to a broad range of complex and interesting roles.
