Association of Chartered Certified Accountants - ACCA ( Professional Level)

Become part of a huge global network of highly skilled accountants with our Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) course.

We prepare you for a range of ACCA exams, and welcome international students from across the globe to study in the UK. Birmingham City University's status as a Platinum Approved Learning Partner reflects the quality of our course.

You’ll be taught by qualified accountants, and upon completion, you’ll leave with the qualifications and skills the accountancy and finance industry look for.

What's covered in the course?

The course starts in either late August / early September or January and takes between one to three years full-time to complete, depending on your current qualifications. It’s structured so that Full-Time students must choose to study either four, five or six ACCA papers each academic year, and a minimum of two papers each semester. Part-Time students do not need to undertake any minimum number of papers, as they can take just one singular paper.  

We let you study all the modules (excluding Advanced Performance Management) you need to take the ACCA professional exams, so you’ll be able to work towards becoming a member of the world’s fastest-growing international professional accounting body. The course is flexible, allowing you to join the programs at different stages and choose the relevant modules you need for your exams, studying at a pace that suits you.

Our tutors are generally qualified accountants with expert academic and professional knowledge and experience. They have worked for companies such as Cadbury Schweppes, Marks and Spencer Financial Services, the Audit Commission, BDO Stoy Hayward, Deloitte, Kaplan Financial, and KPMG, and can, therefore, use real-life experiences to enhance your learning in the classroom.
