    The ACCA is advertising so much about msc masters but the cost is just too high. 1400 GBP. I can’t afford it. I question the point of this scheme. Is it just for the rich and Wealthy. Are only the rich priveleged to get a masters degree and the middle class should be left struggling?

    It should not advertise so much if majorit y are out of reach of the programme.

    Hi Smith,

    But you can afford exam fees, admin fees and other costs related to pursue ACCA qualification – I don’t see your point?

    If you say that many are out of reach of the programme, well yes ok. And how many are out of reach Oxford / Yale studies? I know it’s not equivalent but you see the logic here.

    There are other MSC programmes available – cheaper or even ‘free’. 🙂

    An acca exam costs on average 100 pounds. For 14 papers we pay 1400 pounds. This is the cost of just one module for Msc in the band B category!

    Well, this isn’t a mandate. Surely, you can always opt-out and only go through ACCA route. The course is not cheap, per se, but that’s really low compared to Msc fees if we’d actually study in London at the prestigious UCL, though granted it’s an extennal degree, but nevertheless it’s degree. Might come handy in future, who knows.
