Entry requirements

You need an undergraduate degree (lower second class or higher) eligible for the ACCA Strategic Professional level exams, or ACCA Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills papers (AB-FM) passes or exemptions.

If you haven’t passed the ACCA Knowledge and Skills exams, or don’t hold the correct exemptions, you can enter our MSc Accounting and Finance (Advanced Diploma) at the relevant stage instead.
