ACCA → Degree Route
How ACCA students progress into the BSc
The University of London route is linked to ACCA eligibility. Before applying, students should be registered with ACCA and should check their eligibility carefully. Blackstone admissions can help review your current ACCA status and plan the cleanest route.
1. Build your ACCA foundation
Pass or gain exemptions for Applied Knowledge papers — Business and Technology, Management Accounting, Financial Accounting — plus Corporate and Business Law.
2. Pass the key ACCA papers with ACCA
University of London eligibility requires Financial Reporting, Taxation, and Audit and Assurance to be passed with ACCA. If you hold exemptions for these, you may need to forfeit and sit them with ACCA before applying.
3. Apply while your papers are current
At programme start, no more than five years should have elapsed since passing any one of Financial Reporting, Taxation, or Audit and Assurance.
4. Complete the UoL degree modules
Once eligible, students complete the University of London BSc Professional Accountancy academic requirements alongside their ACCA progression.
