Entry requirements
The entry requirements listed here are our typical offer for this course. They should be used as a general guide. ACCA qualifications: You must gain ACCA exemptions or passes for the Applied Knowledge Papers (formerly papers F1-F3) as a minimum to be eligible to apply for the Diploma in Professional Studies in Accounting. We do not teach the Applied Knowledge Papers. However, the ACCA grant exemptions if you have a relevant degree or professional qualification. To find out whether you are exempt check the ACCA website. GCSE (minimum grade C or grade 4): At least three subjects including English language and maths or a science. You will need to provide documentary evidence from the ACCA that you have passed, at a minimum, the Applied Knowledge papers (formerly F1-F3) or have gained ACCA exemption from the Knowledge Papers stage. English language requirements: IELTS 6.5 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in each element. Find out more about the other English qualifications that we accept. ACCA student membership: You need to be a current registered student of the ACCA. It is advisable to apply for membership as soon as possible, since the process of obtaining membership takes much longer between September and December. Membership brings a number of advantages, including a subscription to Student Accountant magazine and practical online support.

ACCA professional-level papers: If you hold passes or exemptions for the whole Applied stage (formerly papers F1–F9) you might be interested in our Accounting PGDip/MSc course that provides you with tuition for your professional-level papers.
