Executive MBA ACCA
About the program 
About the Program
The ACCA Finance and Accounting postgraduate program is intended to enhance contemporary business management, auditing, risk management, strategic planning, law and taxation knowledge and skills. The degree program constitutes the first step in gaining the prestigious ACCA qualification, which nowadays is essential in professional accounting and finance career, both at home and abroad.
The ACCA + MBA postgraduate studies allow modules F5 – F9 to be credited for when applying for the full ACCA qualification. Graduates can choose two paths in applying for this qualification. The first entails further studies at the ‘professional’ level and provide the advantage of F5-F9 exam exemption, whereas the second path involves application to ACCA for the Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business qualification. This, however, requires passing the ACCA ethics module exam, followed by three-year professional experience in finance, and passing, this time at ACCA, two of any of the five F5-F9 level exams. Selecting the second path does not preclude one from taking the ‘professional’ level exam at a later date.
