    UOL is a reputable university. So, MSc from UOL is attractive. However, is MBA better than MSc since I am ACCA member now? I am in the dilemma situation now =(

    It is clear now. The links below were helpful. The program is good one.

    Does anyone know how soon the ACCA will acknowledge your pass in the first two modules which basically are P4 and P5, is it once you pass them, or do you have to wait till you complete the MSc programme?

    Does it worth for your career development to go for Msc ( cost benefit analysis ) or it won’t add much more value comparing to its cost ? for example going for MBA instead of Msc in finance

    I was told by ACCA that they will acknowledge the passes immediately when the results are released by UoL, which is approx. 6 weeks after the June exams.

    Hi all,

    I have received information regarding the MSc that ACCA are offering. I have thought about a potential route for myself in terms of study. I had a few questions, if anyone could help me. This is my route:

    Finish ACCA doing P6 Advanced Taxation and P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance as the options
    Do professional ethics module and submit project for BSc Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes
    Enter CIMA through professional gateway route and finish CIMA strategic level
    Do the MSc Professional Accountancy as an affiliate/member of ACCA

    What I found most difficult was deciding between the modules below:

    ACCA: Advanced Performance Management, Advanced Financial Management
    MSc: Strategic Performance Management, Strategic Financial Management, Strategic Financial Project
    CIMA: Risk Management, Financial Strategy, Strategic Management

    As you can see you I have decided to go with the CIMA route as I felt this offers more in terms depth and knowledge. However, I may be wrong which is why I wanted advice. What is the difference between these modules and what do you think offers most relevant knowledge and application to the real world? You also may wonder why I want to do both CIMA and ACCA, this is because I want to be a more rounded individual with skills in management accounting. I am not trying to collect credentials, I believe the strategic level of CIMA offers knowledge ACCA does not provide. Please correct me if I am wrong. I feel ACCA does not have much management accounting in it. I also chose P6 Advanced Taxation and P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance as my ACCA options so that I have covered all bases.

    Thanks,

    Harry

    Hi Harry,

    Based on my experience, if i were you, i would do the followings route:

    1) Finish P6 and P7 (this is good combination)

    2) Enter into MSc as affiliate route (select Global financial issue and Project)

    3) complete CIMA requirements (Risk Management, Financial Strategy, Strategic Management). Please bear in mind, personally i did not do CIMA thus not quite sure what is the requirement to get CIMA. But in my opinion you can take all these 3 papers so you can rounded up your knowledge.

    In the above case, you knowledge wont be significantly overlapped.

    You may think of other option, which in my opinion is better than above.

    Follow no.1 and no. 2. Replace no.3 with a MBA. As MBA is all rounded degree and popular to employer, It could advance your career to management level. However, which MBA to choose depends on your career goals.

    thanks.

    I am planning to do the masters too after getting through with all ACCA exams, but I do not find the program vague. I think it is a good opportunity and that MSc is quite valuable.

    Same here

    I think it’s fantastic considering the normal Masters will cost in excess of Β£7K.
    I’m hoping to be doing my final paper in December and than will join them. The layout of programme is quite simple so let’s see.

    Hi, I merged your question into this existing thread.
    I thought it would have been a good idea to have this discussion moved to the “topic” section in order to give it more visibility but it has been moved back…
    Hopefully, someone will contribute to the discussion, I am also moderately interested in this Master.

    Does anybody have an idea if it is realistic to enter on both courses and finish the whole thing in six months. I am talking about pathway 2 which has only two courses.

    I have graduated from UoL BSc and on my diploma supplement is written that we can advance to both BSc and MSc so I think ACCA MSc is also good for PhD.

    Hi ladies and gents,

    Is there anybody who has actually enrolled in the program and can comment on:
    – general learning experience?
    – communication with lecturers?
    – passing assignments and final exams?
    – any set backs?

    I have 2 options left to pass and am thinking about joining Pathway 1, it simply seems that it will fit better my studying style and it would be great to hear any feedback from current students or those who have completed it.
    Any feedback appreciated.

    Any update on this one? Would be great to know other people’s experience at UoL.

    I’m so confused. UoL and UCL are two unrelated universities and UCL provides study meterials for UoL, aren’t they?
    Whose name will stand on the MSc degree, UoL or UCL? I can easily recognise UCL in the QS world ranking but I cannot find out UoL (however some of its member schools, yes, but on the over 300th positions). It is a significant difference.
    The topic on ACCA website also mentions alot of UCL but we all know that who actually in charge of the programme is UoL. It seems something are tailored to make the readers misunderstand.
    Someone can make me clear about that?
