WHY AM I NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE OXFORD BROOKES DEGREE PROGRAMME?

If you are not eligible for the degree programme, then it will be for one of the following reasons:
You enrolled with ACCA before the BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree was introduced.
  • When the degree programme was introduced in 2000/2001, all eligible registered students were asked to opt into the degree scheme by November 2001. Any student who did not do so would have been automatically withdrawn. 
  • If you registered with ACCA prior to November 2001, have yet to complete Papers F7 toF9 and are within 10 years of your initial registration date, please contact ACCA Connect to opt into the degree programme.
You ticked the box on your ACCA registration form stating you did not wish to join the Oxford Brookes University degree programme.
  • If you are yet to complete Papers F7, F8 and F9, you may opt back in to the BSc degree by contacting ACCA Connect.
  • If you have already passed any of Papers F7, F8 or F9, then unfortunately it is now too late to opt back into the degree programme.
  • If you hold exemptions for any of Papers F7 to F9, then you may contact ACCA Connect to forfeit these in order to remain eligible. Once you have forfeited your exemption, you cannot reverse this decision.
  • If you are exempt from any paper from F1-F9 based on a qualification more than 10 years old, you would be required to forfeit all of the exemptions in order to opt in to the degree programme.
You do not hold a suitable English language qualification. 
  • If you successfully completed Paper F4 on or before June 2014 this will be acceptable proof.
  • If you have not completed Paper F4 by June 2014 then refer to the pdf document below for alternative ways you can demonstrate you English proficiency.
You enrolled with ACCA over 10 years ago.  
  • The BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree has a 10-year deadline starting from a student's initial registration date with ACCA. If this has expired in your case, we regret that you are no longer eligible to complete the degree with us.
If you wish to enquire about your eligibility to complete the BSc degree, please contactACCA Connect. Please include your ACCA student registration number in any correspondence.

CAN I APPLY FOR OXFORD BROOKES AFTER I HAVE REGISTERED?

Students can opt in to the Oxford Brookes BSc degree after they have registered. However, they must do so before attempting papers F7, F8 and F9 and hold a recognised English language qualification.

HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO WORK OUT MY OXFORD BROOKES DEGREE CLASSIFICATION?

The BSc degree classification will be based on both:
  • the ACCA average mark determined from the exam marks in the Fundamentals Skills papers (F4–F9)
  • the grade achieved for the Research and Analysis Project.
The ACCA average mark will be calculated by taking the numerical average of the marks achieved in the Fundamentals Skills papers (F4–F9) that you have sat and passed.
Where the calculated average mark is not a whole number, the calculated average will be rounded up or down accordingly. If you have been given an exemption from any of the three papers F4–F6, no mark is available and so will not be included in the calculation of the ACCA average mark.
The class of degree for each combination of ACCA average mark and Research and Analysis Project grade is shown below.
