This programme has been developed to allow the participants the option to study both for a Masters qualification whilst simultaneously sitting the Final Professional Stage of ACCA. The same lecturers deliver the Masters Programme as deliver the Professional Stages of ACCA. Please see 'Our Community' on this web-site for further information on lecturers.
The modules follow the P1-P7 modules of ACCA, including the new SBL (Strategic Business Leader) module.
The structure of the programme, the variety of learning styles and the range of assessment methodologies are designed to develop the learners' skills and attitudes, higher level cognitive skills, transferable skills and research capabilities.
The course will specifically develop and enhance the ability of learners to recognise, analyse and solve business problems, often against a background of economic, social and technological change. Learners will develop the ability to critically evaluate systems and procedures based on good quality research methods.
The Masters Programme is designed to run in conjunction with the Final Stages of The ACCA Programme. As ICD Business School students would have completed their BA (Honours) in Accounting and Finance and therefore hold F1-F9 exemptions, they may sit the ACCA Professional Papers (Strategic Business Leader SBL, Strategic Business Reporting SBR, Advanced Financial Management, Advanced Taxation and Advanced Audit and Assurance) at the same time as completing their MA in Accounting & Finance.
