Gaining, or working towards, the ACCA professional qualification alongside your university academic qualification provides you with the technical, professional and ethical skills that are sought after by employers across the globe.
ACCA collaborates with leading universities globally, providing routes for students to gain this advantage. This can range from exemption accreditation, where completing the academic programme exempts students from some ACCA exams, to Dual Award programmes where students can gain additional recognition from ACCA alongside their academic qualifications.
These qualifications are designed to complement the ACCA qualification and help you to develop relevant knowledge and to broaden your skills - enhancing your employability.
