The University of Edinburgh maintains strong relationships with a number of professional bodies.

  • The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (ICAS)
  • The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England amp; Wales (ICAEW)
  • The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
  • The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (AICPA & CIMA)

Through the process of Recognition of Prior Learning exemptions may be available to students from some of the exams of these various professional bodies. These exemptions may be based either on courses taken on our MSc Accounting and Financial Management alone, or through a combination of specific MSc courses taken in the programmes combined with relevant undergraduate courses taken by individual students.
