2. Is completing a degree mandatory in order to apply for ACCA membership?
Based upon feedback from key stakeholders during the consultation process, ACCA made the decision not to make completing a degree a requirement to gaining ACCA membership. ACCA will continue to work with Oxford Brookes University (OBU) to offer a BSc Honours Degree in Applied Accounting. Students will be able to obtain a degree, awarded by Oxford Brookes University upon completion of the Fundamentals level, the Professional Ethics module and by completing a Research and Analysis Project.
ACCA will also develop academic partnerships, both at the undergraduate and Masters level, with a range of other prestigious universities across the world. These will enable ACCA students and members to extract maximum value from both their academic and ACCA qualifications.
1. What are the requirements for the Oxford Brookes degree?
