Accounting (ACCA) - MSc (PGCert PGDip)
Entry requirements
The entry requirements listed here are our typical offer for this course if you wish to begin studying with us in 2018. They should be used as a general guide.
We operate a flexible admissions policy – this means that you could receive a lower conditional offer than the typical offer, informed by our assessment of your complementary non-academic achievements and experiences. For courses that require interview or portfolio review, this may also be considered in the level of any conditional offer that follows if your application is successful.
You will need to provide documentary evidence from the ACCA that you have passed/gained exemptions from all nine papers from the Fundamental Stage (F1–F9). The University of Brighton run a Diploma in Professional Studies in Accounting for people who need to complete papers F4–F9.
If you are already fully ACCA qualified (completed all 14 papers) and are a UK/EU student contact us ( business@brighton.ac.uk) to discuss direct entry to the final stage of the MSc.
ACCA student membership
You need to be a current registered student of the ACCA.
