MBA after ACCA?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me is it possible to do MBA after ACCA without any bachelors degree like B.COM or BBA?

If Yes, than what will be the duration?

Thanks!

in pakistan... no it is not possible as ACCA is not recognized by HEC. what you can do is either use the oxford brookes degree for university of london external or you will have to enroll in a business school abroad.

You can in pakistan too. If you have done A levels, taken classes of all the first 9 papers of ACCA, and then gained the oxford brookes degree, then it will be recongized by HEC as a 3 year degree and a cumulative 16-year study

And depends on the university too. Some universities do offer Masters programs on ACCA basis

dard is right, but even if you have taken all acca classes, it depends on the institute. it needs to be a UCRS registered and not all institutes are registered. and acca mein to you are normally switching b/w teachers so this will be difficult.

And what if I do B.COM and ACCA both at same time? Then I can have MBA degree?

Hey i dunno what are you people talking about, I think if you fulfill the requirements of Oxford Brookes university u can have BSC (Hons), as per the following link,

If you do not fulfill it, than even b.com is not a bad idea, but gain important information regarding MBA requirements, particularly the minimum passing marks in b-com.

yes you can do bcom with ACCA. its not a big deal and everybody does that. bcom is like a piece of cake.

another option would be to pass till f9 and apply for the bba(hons) degree offered by University of Central Punjab. the degree is recognized by HEC as a four years bachelors degree and you will have to submit a thesis and take some MCQs.. you can check out their website for more information
