Time Commitment

Study at your own pace, either part-time or full-time. You can complete the MSc in as little as six months or take up to five years. Each module is studied over a 22-week session, requiring an average of 10-15 hours per week. Modules run twice per year starting in January and July.

Assessment

Each module includes a mix of formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments help to measure your progress but do not count towards your grade. Summative assessments do count towards the final grade. They include coursework and a project or written exam. Exams are usually held in June and December.

All elements of assessment for a module must be completed in the same study session.

When will your marks be recognised

If you sit an exam in December, you can expect to see this reflected on your ACCA transcript in April. If you sit an exam in June, it should be updated by October.
