Qualification
ACCA and Oxford Brookes University have worked together to develop a BSc (Hons) Degree in Applied Accounting, which is available exclusively to ACCA students who wish to obtain a degree while studying towards the ACCA Qualification.
Awarding Body
Oxford Brookes University (OBU)
Course Description
The BSc Applied Accounting is the result of a unique collaboration between Oxford Brookes University (OBU) and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). As an ACCA student you can gain an undergraduate degree whilst studying for your professional qualification.
The BSc in Applied Accounting is an Honours level undergraduate award that prepares students for careers as professional accountants and to make a wider contribution to their organisations, communities and society.
The degree incorporates students’ professional accountancy studies into an academic programme. The knowledge and skills gained through professional examinations are enhanced and extended by the graduate skills developed in the Research and Analysis Project (RAP).
Career Opportunities
It is a degree designed specifically for ACCA students to complement the qualification. It provides a platform for the students to gain and apply the skills of gathering, analysing and summarising data, which are skills much required in the real corporate world.
At YES International College, we are committed to leading and guiding our students towards achieving their dream of becoming qualified accountants who are able to demonstrate the highest degree of integrity and competency.

Course Structure
The Research and Analysis Project (RAP) is the final component of the BSc degree and consists of two separate documents; a 7,500 word Research Report (RR) and a 2,000 word Skills and Learning Statement (SLS). Students are also required to give a presentation on the project to their project mentor.
For RR, students are required to conduct an investigation and write a report which addresses one of the topics listed by OBU.
SLS is an evaluation of students’ experiences of doing the RR by demonstrating that they have developed the key ‘graduate’ skills of self-reflection and communication.
Assessment
To pass the RAP, students must pass both the Research Report (RR) and the Skills and Learning Statement (SLS). If students do not pass both components separately within the same RAP submission, they will be awarded a Fail grade for the RAP.
Students will be given one of three Pass grades (A, B or C) or a Fail grade (F) for the performance in the RR.
Students will be given either a Pass grade or a Fail grade for the performance in the SLS.
If students achieve one of the three Pass grades for the RR and the Pass grade for the SLS, then a pass in the RAP will be awarded. The grade awarded to students for the performance in the RAP will be of that awarded to them for the RR i.e. A, B or C. Once they have been awarded one of the three Pass grades for the RAP, then they cannot make any further RAP submissions.
If students are awarded either a Fail grade in the RR or a Fail grade in the SLS, then they will be awarded a Fail grade for the RAP. If they are awarded a Fail grade on the first RAP submission, they will be allowed up to two further RAP submissions.
