ACCA and the University of London have launched a new BSc (Hons) Professional Accountancy Programme.
The programme integrates studies for the ACCA qualification with those for the University of London BSc (Hons) Professional Accountancy into one study route, allowing students to achieve both as part of their plans to become members of the accountancy body.
The BSc (Hons) Professional Accountancy has been designed to fit into a student’s journey through the ACCA qualification, with a pathway for those wanting to attain a degree. Students will be able to apply from December 2025.
Students will have the flexibility to study for the BSc online or, as it becomes available, through face-to-face tuition support, through the University of London’s network of Recognised Teaching Centres.
Alan Hatfield, ACCA executive director – content, quality and innovation, said: “Choosing between a professional and an academic qualification is a significant dilemma for many students. This new route offers a great career launchpad for those who want to do both at the same time.
“University of London is a world-renowned university with a global reach and values that mirror ours. This new route supports our efforts to increase inclusion and opportunity in the accountancy profession, and to bridge the accountancy skills gap that exists in many countries.”
Sky Zheng, executive director of University of London Worldwide, added: “We have a longstanding commitment to innovating the way we provide accessible, quality, distance education to students around the world. This includes providing courses that allow students to choose the best learning experience to suit them and their needs, whether professional or academic.
“This BSc programme, delivered in collaboration with ACCA, gives students the best of both worlds – gaining both credentials simultaneously to improve their career prospects in global accountancy. We look forward to helping develop the next generation of qualified professionals who can meet the evolving demands of the business world.”
