Woolf University - Educational Partnership & Institutions

9 of 14 exemptions is a big deal!! 

This program would potentially be a massive offering to the UK market, ACCA is the benchmark standard. There is also reciprocity with NZ and AUS too so that is huge for AUS migration and visa points in particular. Someone could do this program for 3k, finish off the ACCA, and apply for a professional AUS State sponsored permanent visa since its a "needed profession".


I don't know how someone would finish the ACCA while in the US though. One of the requirements last time I checked is a couple years experience in the job, being supervised at a firm where at least one person above you is ACCA qualified. My partner is pursuing the ACCA exams currently but it was only possible because one of the people above him is a British contractor working for the DoD, otherwise it would have been CPA only.

There are other avenues in UK; besides, one can stick with Oxford Brookes and/or London offerings. But yes, it'd be an option.
I totally agree with immigration angle. For Canada, presumably one at least will get points for Marter's; Woolf posts sample evaluations from recognized Canadian FCEs. CPA Canada discontinued the former CGA's agreement with ACCA; one can still get some credit because ACCA is an IFAC member body. 
For practical experience, ACCA requires a qualified accountant supervisor, which means possessing a designation from the IFAC member body. So CPAs and CMAs would qualify. Personally, I went through the exams for UofL Master's; I never went through with PER.
