What Is the BSc in Professional Accountancy?
The BSc in Professional Accountancy is a dual-qualification pathway where ACCA students can earn a bachelor’s degree from the University of London by completing specific ACCA exams and an additional project module.
Think of it this way:
One study route → Two qualifications:
- A UK university bachelor’s degree
- The globally recognised ACCA qualification
Students don’t need to study an entirely separate degree — the programme is built into the ACCA journey itself.
