Okay so I have just cleared my BSc (Hons) in Applied Accountancy from Oxford Brookes University with First Class Honors. (You might know from my Twitter or Instagram)
And a lot of you asked me about this Degree.
So to give an overview,
This Degree is a program ACCA has with the Oxford Brookes University. It’s an Undergrad degree program that’s recognized in the UK and EU as well.
It’s a plus along with your ACCA if you are seeking to get a job in the Middle East. (Plus because the more the better)
I did mine after completing all the professional exams, but you are eligible for it once you are done with all the Fundamentals and Applied skill exams (till F9).
There are two windows in which you can submit your research, May and November submission.
You get yourself registered with OBU, then find a Mentor (who’s also registered with OBU) and start your research, preferably a minimum of 3 months before the submission date so you have ample time to complete the research. Then you submit and pay the fee (as you submit).
The degree you get (first/second class etc) depends upon your cumulative average score of your Applied Skill exams. So study well!
I also posted y’all should complete your Skill level exams by 2026. To explain,
Oxford Brookes Business School, after conducting a strategic review of the higher education landscape and its programmes, has decided to not offer the BSc (Hons) Applied Accountancy after May 2026. Until then, everything will be as usual, with the submission windows in May and November each year. So if you intend to submit in 2023, 2024 or 2025, there is no change.
I hope this answers your question about the Degree. If you have any more questions, drop them below and help each other out. 🫶🏻
Zara sahiba ek BAAT bataen k agar koi Banda Acca bas skills level tak hi parhna Chahta ho or obu bhi ly ly to Kia us ki obu ki degree valid rahy gi Acca complete na karny par?
Of course. You wouldn’t need to complete your professionals. Your degree is completely separate and will stay valid. You have to sit the Ethics module as well though.
Is there any eligibility criteria for the time limit? I started ACCA in June 2014 and it’s been almost 9 years since I started my ACCA. Can I still enroll for OBU degree or it’s too late now.
Tu 2026 ke baad no obu degree ? Tu any way to get it ? I will be doing Acca in 2024(basically next year) and after 2 years obu will not offer degree .Tu do you think I can complete 17 exam ( including foundation level ) in 2 years ? Under an institution?
You can complete up till F9 and then submit your Research. Finish all professionals after. You don’t have to finish all 17 exams.
You can sit the first ones quickly in the first year after every 3 month brackets. You just have to finish up till F9 by march 2026. And I’d suggest you sit F7, F8 and F9 prior to the rest. Good luck!
