Who has done the 5000 word essay for the degree from OxFord Brookes UNiversity?I'm just wondering if it's difficult.

Oh,so it depends on how well you do in Part 1 and 2?Okay...so that means even if the thesis is lousy,still can get the degree?Really that easy?

I just became an ACCA student this July,currently in Part 1.I need your opinions on taking 4 papers per sitting in part 2.Is it wise to do so?I hear Part 2 is really difficult.I am thinking of it so I can finish up ACCA before Dec 2007...when the syllabus will be changed.So please give me your opinions.

Don't need to worry about not having an accounting background.I faced the same dilemma as you earlier this year while waiting for my STPM result.I've just completed my Part 1 ACCA.Waiting for exam result now.Part 1 of ACCA will teach you the basics of accountancy.As long as you're willing to learn something new,you'll do fine.You could take CAT before going to ACCA,but CAT has got 9 papers.Part 1 only has 3 papers to sit.And once you pass Part 1 or CAT,you will progress to Part 2.But in CAT,you are required to pass all papers before progressing to Part 2.While in Part 1,you might fail a paper but will still be able to progress to Part 2 of ACCA.
