Thinking ahead! Why exemptions are important

Student Talent 2With opportunities for achieving professional exam exemptions on our BA Accounting and Financial Management you can get a head start in becoming a qualified accountant, show future employers that your degree meets industry standards and that you are prepared for working in a professional environment. It also means you have fewer exams to do after finishing university!

By choosing a degree with exemptions from professional exams you can be confident that you are learning the right practical skills, and have the knowledge you need to get started in your chosen career after graduating.

Depending on module choices students on our BA Accounting and Financial Management programmes could be eligible for a number of exemptions from ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, CPA Australia and ICAEW:

ACCA – Six ACCA exemptions at the Fundamental level, awarded upon the successful completion of your degree.*
CIMA – Students can be exempt from foundation CIMA courses after completing our undergraduate accounting courses.*
CIPFA – Five exemptions from CIPFA professional qualifications, meaning you could be fully qualified in two years.*
CPA Australia – Eight exemptions gives students CPA foundation level accreditation upon graduation from the programme, with direct access to the Professional level if continuing studies at masters level.*
ICAEW – Students on our BA Accounting and Financial Management courses can start their ACA training or top-up their business knowledge with ICAEW’s CFAB – Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business.*

These exemptions are subject to change, so make sure you check which are available when you start you studies and that you pick the modules you need to get the exemptions and accreditations you want.
