ACCA/ Msc University of London (UOL)

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and the University of London have today agreed to offer a ground-breaking Masters programme to be made available to ACCA students and members around the world. This route to the ACCA qualification will be of value to accountants aspiring to senior roles and enable them to stand out from the crowd in terms of their qualifications. Compared with the cost of studying for an accountancy qualification and a master’s separately, this will save time and money for many ACCA students.
