do you mean oxford brookes?

sorry i spelled wrongly..corrected d

why dont you go to the education agency? they will consult you.=)

what is that?can i have more information on this??i have a mentor to guide me actually,just that i dont know where to find information of the company... thanks

anyone can help?

go and arrange someone in genting..that will make it primary source,which later u will put it in ur obu report(data gathering)..

ya i thought about it too..but i think the chances of them allowing me to interview with them is really low..

will i get a degree in ACCA?
i heard is a degree in applied accounting
what is the different between degree in applied accounting and degree in accounting?

as the title of the degree suggests, it's applied accounting instead of accounting. so u get the idea that it's not gonna be regarded as good as degree in accounting. But it doesn't really matter if u've got ur ACCA.

Yeap, degree from OBU, Oxford Brookes University, just do a thesis. If you haven't got your ACCA, or you want to apply for a work while waiting for your final ACCA results, OBU would give you a higher chance to secure a job, it is recognized by all the auditing firms in Malaysia

Is it we will gt a higher pay job when we get ACCA instead of degree.

u mind to send me ur sample ?
now i am approaching for my OBU thesis also ..
my email is daniel06032004@gmail.com

How much time is given to finish that thesis?

Call this OBU Mentor

Ms Lam - 012 206 0397

She's good

Accounting is considered art while Applied Accounting is considered science.

you get BSc instead of BA.

Are u sure all audit firm recognise this degree???...i am very sure one of the Big 4 do not recognise this degree, BUT will make allowance on the fact that u are doing ACCA and accept u..

It's not audit firm recognise or not, it's the law let you sign the audit report or not.

Every degree also cannot sign audit report without ACCA/MIA equivalent. OBU degree also same.

i know of one also...others not sure recognize or not
which mentor you guys normally choose to help with the thesis? my friend chose one...damn regret
clever take money, but when teaching damn suck

ACCA member gets higher pay. (recognised, may take 3 to 5 years depending on job specs and reputation of company)
ACCA affiliate gets very slightly higher pay (0 to 3 years experience)

generally for all professional degree, they will have the word applied int heir title. these degrees are generally focus on the skills required of the job rather than the academic knowledge behind it.

i planning take OBU degree coz i just sit for my part 2 level exam! and i foresee i wun be completed for this sitting...but next year im going to study part 3...

but i dunno whether i wan start my OBU degree anot? coz i noe there will b alot of work to do! i'm in dillema...

shud i start? or wait after i really completed my part 2 then only move on?

it's not really a lot of work to do..just get a good mentor who will reply to queries promptly, and you can finished ur these early in the semester way before the exam period..

btw, u should finsih ur obu before ur last semester.. this is because obu results are released 1 month after the exam result..so at least u can use ur degree to look for job when your final papers result are not yet announced

how to do the ethic module

the OBU, just get a sample and change the organisation, shouldn't be too hard provided you have the time. i think you better do it after the results are published, therefore you are confirmed done on the Fundamental level

the professional ethics module are largely related P1, you can answer better after studying it

This post has been edited by nothingz: Dec 23 2010, 06:12 PM

so better wait the result release and confirm i completed the F level then only proceed to OBU RAP...

Do any one of you have the idea how to start OBU???

Oxford Brookes University Degree equivalent to Degree in Accounting?

Oxford Brookes University Degree equivalent to Degree in Accounting?

it is a BSC(Hons) in applied accounting and the classification of degree depends on ur ACCA part 2 marks

for more information

http://www.accaglobal.com/students/faqs/oxford_brookes

it's bsc in applied accounting

which means? Mind to shed some light?

its like a degree printing factory

But you still require a degree if you want to study for your Masters. Most Masters requires at least a 2:1.

if we take ACCA or ICAEW, we cant take Masters?

Depending on uni. most MBA courses will accept professional qualification

thats good... MBA accept most prof qualification
I am worrying they r not accpeting

So I've seen quite some ppl ask this question but there isn't exactly a definite answer so can anyone advice on this?
Did anyone successfully tried to get into CFA with acca's obu? Or perhaps know someone who did?
I'm very interested in CFA and is currently doing acca.
If obu does not qualify then we can try with four years working experience but what particular job in any accounting firm or big four will qualify for CFA?
I've heard someone said that not all Audits qualify, only certain ones related to investments?

Come and share some knowledge and advice, thanks.

Hello, Im doing OBU too, topic 8.

Doing halfway, anyone got any idea how to do the front page?

can i have a copy of ur sample.. really need it badly.. if u dont mind, pls send to my email : wahwah_wawa@hotmail.com
thank you very much!!!

Anyone giving advise? trying to bump this thread.. Thanks

Before you enroll in the CFA Program and register for your first exam:

Meet the entrance requirements:

(1)Have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree
or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration

(2)or have four years of professional work experience (does not have to be investment related)
or have a combination of professional work and college experience that totals at least four years. Part-time positions do not qualify, and the four-year total must be accrued prior to enrollment.

If you initially enroll/register as a final year undergraduate student with a degree in progress, you may not register for the Level II exam until you have earned your degree, or obtained professional work experience that meets the program’s entrance requirements. At the time your degree is awarded, you may update your account education information to certify that your degree has been received.

Seem like not active here anymore...still waiting for reply here...hehe

Search for answers in google, type obu mentor and place your questions in the blog. I can help you there but do not ask for samples, that is actually forbidden by obu.

The easiest way is get the obu bpp text book and read the whole bsc pack properly

Obu also got textbook?? How much is the book cost? Any other publisher?

Hey guys, i need some info from u all~
i am going to finish my diploma in Tarc in this September
i wish to know what pathways is the best for me
1. is the Oxford Brooke University Degree recognize by Malaysia accountancy firm?
2. Tarc Degree or Oxford Brooke University Degree which one is more preferred in the accountancy field?
3. the salary for both degree are different or almost the same?
Thankyou

Oxford Brooke's University degree is not recognized by MQA, I think.

TARC's degree is likely crap too.

Since you are gonna do ACCA, might as well rot in TARC and finish it.

If not, going to somewhere like sunways/taylors could help you expose yourself and learn some things out there rather than to continue to be in TARC

TARC produces good accountants, on papers. Nuff said.

I would say OBU is not a too bad university for accounting, but the degree you mean is BA in accounting & finance, Bsc in Applied Accounting?

I think most of the accounting firms care about your ACCA then your degree.

TARC no doubts is a good place if you want to finish your ACCA faster, compare to BA>ACCA

Salary wise, it differs from firm to firm, if you are good enough, your 1st job may be preparing to pay income tax

Disagree with your last statement.

If TS wants to finish ACCA fast, he could do what some people did. Drop out of college and take the Papers yourself.

With skills, you can finish it within 1 year 6 months from the date he stops his diploma.

Rather than spending 2 years for a degree and another 1 year extra to clear the P level papers.

The opportunity cost from taking the degree is higher and it's wasting time if one knows one wants to take ACCA.

Besides, employers nowadays digress from TARC's graduate already.

Most have less than satisfactory England. I'm sure most company will be selective nowadays. Audit grads are abundant in market.

Ah, I was still in Advance diploma era, If he were to do his Advance dip at TARC, he may be able to finish off all papers in one and half year

There are many still do a BA then proceed to ACCA, even knowing they want to take ACCA in future, as they need a safer ground to step back, if their ACCA didn't meet with success

Adv diploma only clears you until ACCA F level papers.

He would still need to take another 5 more professional paper

Either way, taking a degree when knowing one is going to take ACCA later, would be kinda redundant.

That's my personal view.
