    A second attempt cost around GBP650 in 2017. Its almost half the price I would say. Still a lot.

    All material is provided by the university. You need to do your own research only when you do not understand it from their notes. They also provide a timetable. So week 1 is topic 1, week 2 is topic 2 and so on. Follow that and you should be ok. You need to put you mind behind it and you should be able to pass without any problem. So I suggest you to keep calm and focus on the reading.

    Hi guys!

    Is it advisable to take the UOL MSc in Professional Accounting if I don’t have much work experience yet? They have a five year rule where you have to take competency exam if you go over 5 years from passing your professional exams.

    Would also love to hear from you Alkemist if you do read this one.

    Thank you all so much!

    It can be done without work experience, although experience of industry is a big help, especially when you get to the research project element.

    As for the competency exam, that wasn’t much of an issue when I did it, but different persons may have a different experience.

    Hi, thanks for the advice, it is helpful.

    I intend to enroll into the MSc this year, path 2 however my last ACCA exam was more than 5 years and it requested me to take an online preparation test. Can you let me know if there is any documents provided in preparation for that test and which level/ papers of ACCA this preparation exam is at? Any suggestion on how i should do the preparation?

    Many thanks and appreciate your help.

    Thanks so much Alkemist. I have received my offer letter from UoL. Just thinking whether to finish in 6 months or one year. Any suggestions? And what is the best way for preparing for the two modules?

    Thanks.

    do not worry about the online assessment. It is a simple exercise, just sign up and do it. It isn’t a brain buster, just a simple course so they can say you have caught up with modern trends.

    @kylerlu
    it all depends on how much time you are willing to devote. In my case, I could have probably finished in 6 months but I knew my circumstances so I did one module each 6 month period.

    Hi Jane,
    I have just applied MSc (Path 2), but need to do a preparation course as I passed ACCA more than 5 years ago. It looks like the average study hours are more than 4 hours per day! Not sure I am able to catch up the pace of the modules, what it would happen if coursework deadline is not be able to meet? Full time working and looking after a baby is not easy though.

    Regards,
    Ada

    I will probably do one module for each 6 month period too as I have to work as well.

    Thank you so much @alkemist for all the help! God bless!

    @adatan Jane is not on opentuition. She is thestudent coordinator for the MSc programme at UoL. As for the prep course, do not stress yourself over the time, just do it.

    Hi @alkemist!

    Which would you say is harder? The Strategic Financial Project or the Global Issues for the Finance Professional?

    I just want to take the harder one during the period where company work is manageable and take the easier one during busy periods at work.

    Thanks!

    Also, how do you guys put this on your CV after completing the masters program? Do you put UOL or UCL? Or both? To put “academic direction…..” on a CV seems too long and i’ve never seen that in any CV.

    Thanks guys

    @kylerlu both are equally manageable. As for CV, it is MSc in Professional Accountancy – University of London.

    I’m really sorry to be posting a question here that has nothing to do with the Masters but I really need this information. Do you have to wait for an invite from ACCA to apply for membership or can you go ahead and apply once you’ve met the requirements???

    Hi @alkemist!

    Would the the certificate/diploma say “academic direction is ucl”? I was wondering what the actual diploma/certificate says.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi @jerma, you can apply for membership online by logging in to your ACCA portal after meeting the requirements. You don’t have to wait for ACCA to invite you to apply for membership.

    Hope this helps.
