Professional Examination Route:
Minimum Entry requirements to register for the ACCA qualification, starting at the Knowledge level, are two A Levels plus 3 GCSEs in five separate subjects (including English and Mathematics), or the equivalent. Those students in possession of higher qualifications may be eligible for exemptions from some of the ACCA examinations.
Mature Student Entry Route:
The mature student entry route is for students aged over 21 years, who do not hold the minimum entry qualifications. This route allows students to enter the programme under the condition that they pass papers F2 & F3 at the Knowledge level within two years (a maximum of 4 consecutive attempts) first prior to proceeding to the next papers.
Exemptions for Degree Holders:
Holders of recognised business and/or accounting degrees will be considered for exemption from some or all of the papers in Knowledge & Skills levels, if they have previously studied and been assessed in comparable subject areas. Students with non-relevant degrees will not receive exemption from the examinations.
We advise you to check your starting point with ACCA before you enrol on the course.
Exemption Application Deadlines:
By 31 July – for December exams
By 31 December – for June exams
