To all the Drs here, is there any chance of getting a title of PhD in Accountancy/Finance field? (I think I'm stupid by asking this question, but just want to confirm it)
If yes, how can it be obtained? (Currently going to take A-Levels, then going to do a degree in Accounting and Finance and ACCA after that) |

QUOTE(Blofeld @ Dec 19 2013, 12:00 PM) Anyone can do sign up for a PhD in Accounting if they have the prerequisite qualifications. That answers my question So, make sure you have a Master's degree first or a First Class honours degree (provided you have a strong background in research). Why do you want to do a PhD? Are you interested to be an academic? PhD in Accounting is only useful for academics. If you aim to just practise accountancy either in a public accounting firm or in the corporate sector, ACCA is good enough.   Just want to have more career opportunities  |

A PhD qualification will only come in handy if you want to pursue a career in the academic line. So, having a Dr. title doesn't mean that you will have a higher status than other people? But just used for academic purposes in this case? |
