@yasirrfc here no one is against anything we are just comparing things. Firstly external programmes are not valued equal to regular program ask any employer. if u can go to UK and get admission in LSE than go for it i gurantee you will find a good job. But if u cant than why not take the ACCA route to ICAEW. one more interesting thing i have noted is that you compare each degree with reference to the exemptions allowed by ACCA in regards of that degree which makes me feel you want to do ACCA in future but after getting this degree. Let me assure you in most cases external programs are not worth and you might not even fetch a job of 10 15K. I hope everything is sorted out now. As far as "the person who checks and sets your paper is different than the person who teaches you" is considered it is the case in ACCA CA CIMA ICMAP ICAEW etc etc. I wont stop you from studying BSc but i would advise you to go for ACCA than CFA/ICAEW. But take decision on your choice we at this forum can only guide you from our experience. Again ACCA even wont give u a job but there are many chances you might end up getting training cntrct at the end of which you will make big bucks but before that there are 5 6 years of hard work. Also once you enter the profession you will come across many things which might be unheard to you but have good worth in market.
