        Progression & ACCA Exemptions

        📘 How the BSc Programme Helps You Progress in ACCA
        When you complete the BSc Professional Accountancy programme, it not only gives you a degree—it also helps you move forward in your ACCA qualification.This programme includes two important modules that match the ACCA exams:
        ✅ Financial Management (FM) Module
        This module is the same as the ACCA FM exam.
        If you haven’t already taken the FM exam with ACCA, passing this module will give you a free exemption—you won’t need to sit the exam or pay any exemption fees.✅ Performance Management (PM) Module
        This module is the same as the ACCA PM exam.
        If you haven’t taken PM with ACCA yet, you’ll also get a free exemption after passing this module.
        Note: If you already passed FM or PM with ACCA, you’ll still need to take both modules for the BSc degree—but you won’t receive exemptions again.🧭 What Happens Next?Once you complete both modules, ACCA will automatically update your record and you’ll be ready to move to the Strategic Professional level.
        There’s no extra paperwork, and no exemption fee required.💡 A Helpful TipIf you’re planning to do this degree, try not to take ACCA’s FM and PM exams before starting. You can complete them as part of the BSc programme and save time and money!
