Hi everyone,
I hope some of you might help me a little bit. I am 1 exam away from completing my ACCA qualification. After this I would like to pursue either BSc (Hons) with OBU or MSc in Professional Accounatncy with University of London. I’m a little bit confused about what would be the better option – do BSc (Hons) first and then MSc or straight away go into MSc? If I went straight for MSc could it be seen as a bad thing, I mean if I skipped BSc? Could it be seen as a bad career move in a sense that it’s skipping a step and isn’t gradual?
I hope you understand what I mean and hope some of you might share your experiences?
Thank you 🙂You are too late for OBU https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/oxford-brookes-bsc-hons-in-applied-accounting.html – “This provides an opportunity for students to obtain a degree while studying towards the ACCA Qualification”
A professional accountancy qualification is a higher level qualification than a BSc/BA.
Unless you’re too young to be in full-time work you might be better getting some practical experience and then getting another professional qualification in a specialism – like tax or internal audit – if there is a field you would like to work in.
Hi, thank you for your reply.
I haven’t finished my final (professional) exam yet and wouldn’t go for BSc before I do, but I am opted in the program so have the option to do it if I want to.
I have worked as an accountant for almost 10 years now (in a few different businesses, not practise). Just thought if it would make more sense to go for BSc or MSc in terms of how my future employers might view that I have skipped BSc, for example, if I go for MSc?
Thank you, your advise is appreciated
