ACCA |

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is a globally recognised professional accountancy body that helps people build rewarding careers in finance, business, and beyond.

We’ve long championed inclusion and innovation, and today proudly support a diverse community of over 257,900 members and 530,100 future members in 180 countries.

When you study with ACCA, you’re joining a global network and gaining the skills employers everywhere are looking for.

ACCA Advantage is designed specifically for UK university students. It helps you build real-world skills, explore your options, and take practical steps toward your future career.

Here’s how it helps:

• Skills employers value in areas like communication, time management and data
• Work experience opportunities: Discover how to gain experience while you study through internships, volunteering or part-time roles
• Study support: Access to resources to support your studies and get a head start with the ACCA qualification

A career in accountancy can take you almost anywhere - from fashion to finance, sport to sustainability, tech to travel.

The ACCA Qualification opens doors to respected, rewarding career opportunities with the world’s best employers - across nearly every sector and industry you can imagine.

Our global network and employer partnerships mean you’ll have access to exciting roles and connections no matter where your ambition takes you.

It’s flexible, future-ready, and built to develop well-rounded professionals who can think strategically, work ethically, and make a real difference in business.

Our members work with leading organisations including Coca-Cola, Ikea, Deloitte, KPMG, Mercedes-Benz, the NHS, and HMRC.

The ACCA Qualification is a combination of exams, ethics, and three years of relevant practical experience. Once completed, you’ll become an ACCA member - a strategic thinker with high ethical integrity, strong financial know-how, and the right business acumen.

We’re evolving our qualification to reflect the needs of the modern finance world. The refreshed ACCA Qualification will launch in 2027.

This is accountancy built for the future - and for your future.

You don’t need to be a maths genius or have a finance degree. ACCA welcomes students whatever your background or experience:

• If you have a relevant degree, you may be able to start at a higher level and get exemptions from some exams and progress faster
• If not, you would start at the level appropriate for your degree, such as our Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) route, to build core skills

Whatever your path, we’ll support you every step of the way.

In our podcast By All Accounts…, ACCA members share their journeys - from studying to working with luxury brands and start-ups, tackling sustainability, and enjoying flexible working.

Real voices. Real careers. Real impact.
