Oh yeah Taylor's Business School has just received Gold Status as an ACCA tuition provider even though we're quite new in providing tuition for ACCA and only professional papers ^^. Even though not as good TARC and Sunway but we're slowly moving up ^^

why got sbu and sbs dun have sbt and sbb

1. If i enroll ACCA professional level course in Taylor's where, where can i sit for the exam?? In Taylors or other place??

2. If i have finished UWE Accounting &Finance degree course, can i do ACCA straight away, or do i need to have working experience before i do so.

yeah Ms. Vinitha must be working really hard XD. Hum I heard from Mr. David last week that TARC received platinum status as well though I'm not really sure about it.

Hi

I'm new in this forum and stumble upon it when i was searching for more info on TUC's BA in Accounting & Finance in collaboration with UWE. i have a few questions regarding this course and would greatly appreciate it if any of you guys could help shed some light on this.

I am actually an accounting diploma holder and interested to study for a degree. I also have a 3-year experience working in a multinational oil and gas company. Now, my question is what's the max. exemption for a diploma holder + mature students? Is It possible for me to be exempted from year 1 and 2 and straight away enroll into year 3? Another course that I am interested in enrolling is Help UC BA in Accounting and Finance in coll with UEL. But I'd like to see what other options is available for me, plus Taylor's is nearer to home. Some of my friends with the same diploma as me straight away enroll into UEL course immediately after their diploma and got a 2-year exemptions so they only enroll into year 3.

I am not planning to apply for any study loans as my EPF account is sufficient enough to pay for a-year fees provided I enroll into year 3. Reason why I'd like to study for a degree instead of going to ACCA straight away is because I am currently taking a career break and studying for a degree would be the wisest choice at the moment not only  in-terms of my short-term career progression but also beneficial in a way that it gives me an additional qualification and exemptions into ACCA. I do have a plan to study for ACCA later as my long term goal but right now I have loads of commitment to fulfill so it is not be possible to do it full-time, though I must admit that taking ACCA would be a more cost effective option. Currently, if i were to study for ACCA, I am exempted from all papers in part 1 (knowledge level) and 3 papers from part 2 (skill level) so that leaves me with 8 more papers to go.

So if there were any of you guys who actually did enroll into year 3, I hope u could share some of your experience with me. Thanks.

Hi Nicky,

yes, i do agree with what you have pointed out and most of the subjects you mentioned in the year 2 syllabus of the UWE degree programme have been covered in year 2 and 3 of my diploma. As for the ACCA F-level, i only need to sit for F7, F8 and F9 based on my current qualification and this i believe was due to the missing bits that should have been covered by some of those year 3 subjects you mentioned in the degree programme.

Well, studying for the degree may not be the best possible options as compared to having an ACCA which would make you the definite choice of the employers. But as i have mentioned earlier, my career is on the rise and having a degree would definitely has it's advantages at least for now. Of course, provided that i could finish it in 1 year as i can't be leaving my job for long. If everything goes well, i could be doing my part 3 ACCA later-on on a part-time basis. But if worse comes to worse, i might just resort to plan B i.e. continue with ACCA straight away instead.

If your financial standing allows it and you don't feel like working yet, its ok to continue ACCA-P right after degree as part time study is not easy at all. lol

Hey Hikari, got something I would like to ask you.
Im taking accounting and finance this october at lakeside and Im wondering how is the timetable like? Average 1 day how many hour of class?

I saw a paper stating that

Sem 1 - October 2010-January 2011
Sem 2 - January 2011-May 2011
Sem 3 - October 2011-January 2012
Sem 4 - January 2012-May 2012
Sem 5 - October 2012-January 2013
Sem 6 - January 2013-May 2013

My questions are

1. Does that mean that every year from May-October i will be free? That sound boring.

2. From the look of the semester, im only studying for 2.5 years instead of 3 years..how come?

Most orientation last between three days to one week I'm not sure how long your orientation is gonna last ^^" Usually I see Degree programme orientations go for 3 days.

For dress code as long as you adhere to the Taylor's Dress code eg. no mini skirts,shorts,spaghetti strap,slippers and you know the drill you wear casual to class. If I'm not mistaken UWE students have to wear formal every Monday and of course when you have presentations ^^

Luckily it's only on Monday and not everyday.

By the way, things like book list and academic calendar will be provided during orientation right?

Added on August 19, 2010, 11:30 pmI wonder if there's still single room available at taylor hostel. Still havent find accomodation and I hope there's single room available around the housing area..

Yes, he is still a student there. Not sure about his major course

To do 3+0 or 2+1 depends on you. If you ask me there's not much difference besides a change in environment and perhaps different learning experience while you're at oversea. If you wanna experience some change, then you can go uniSA for your last year degree. No added advantage or whatever since in the end your certificate will be the same no matter its 3+0 or 2+1.
