Many of our undergraduate and postgraduate business degrees at The University of Law are accredited by one or more professional industry bodies who maintain an oversight of the required skills, knowledge, practice and conduct of their representative professions. Find out more about our accreditation partners, including The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CiM), The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
Why study an accredited degree?
It’s very difficult for a business degree to earn a recognised accreditation by an independent body for programme design, content and professional relevance. By studying a business degree with our Business School, accredited by one or more of our professional partners, your qualification will be recognised by international employers and help you to stand out in future job applications.
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
Our BSc (Hons) Accounting with Finance is recognised and accredited by The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). This is a huge benefit if you wish to pursue a career as a Chartered Accountant because on successful completion of your degree, you will be exempt from 9 of the 13 ACCA exams. This will significantly reduce your time to complete the qualification needed to become a Chartered Accountant, with no extra work required during your studies.
Benefits of studying an ACCA Accredited Degree
On top of the accelerated route to Chartered Accountancy, studying an ACCA Accredited degree also gives you access to ACCA Advantage during your studies. Membership will connect you to ACCA employers and provide you with tools and opportunities to improve your employability skills. You will have access to:
- Virtual work experience
