University of london external program Bsc or ACCA. - yasirrfc - 04-29-2011
hello im an Alevel student in karachi. I really need help regarding my uni decision. im passionate about the field of accounting and i wanna do bsc in accounting and finance. i did not apply to lums and the date passed so i cannot get in. i wont apply to szabist or iba as they dont have an accounting and finance program. cbm has a bs in accounting and finance but the program is pathetic. i mean after studying 4 years im only gonna get 6 paper exemption from ACCA and thats it. the same thing if i do abroad in UK or malaysia, im gonna get 9 paper exemption from ACCA and 8 paper exemption from ICAEW and after only 3 years of study. so im not really sure what to do. i dont know if i should do ACCA or the university of london external program in accounting and finance. help would be really appreciated. and no i dont wanna go outside pakistan and its preferable that i do a degree because if heard that doing ACCA is like climbing from the 10th floor of a building, not because its hard but because it has no value but im still not sure. please help me whether i should do the university of london external program or ACCA.
thank you
