ACCA and the University of London are launching a new BSc (Hons) Professional Accountancy programme.
This new BSc programme integrates degree studies into the ACCA global accounting qualification, enabling students to achieve both an academic and a professional qualification at the same time.
From March 2026 the BSc will be open to all current ACCA registered students, affiliates and members who meet the eligibility criteria. But you can apply for the degree from December 2025!
To complete the BSc Professional Accountancy students will need to complete two modules aligned to ACCA’s performance management and financial management exams and a Project Module.
The BSc (Hons) Professional Accountancy Top Up can be achieved in a minimum of 12 months. Students have up to three years to complete the programme, and can study online or face-to-face.
Alan Hatfield, ACCA Executive director – Content, Quality and Innovation (pictured), 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.”
The BSc (Hons) Professional Accountancy builds on an existing collaboration between the two bodies under which ACCA members and affiliates can attain an MSc in Professional Accountancy.
