Hi
mohdfarhan2408,
Thank you for your post. It is much more challenging to gain admission to a competitive b-school without a 4-year degree. That said, some universities (like Wharton and LBS) do accept equivalencies - and I know ACCA is one of those equivalencies (provided you have substantial work experience accompanying the designation).
With a strong resume, I recommend you reach out to the admission department of your target institution and inquire.
If you would like to continue the conversation offline, please
reach out.
Good luck!

Hi guys,
My name is Farhan and currently working with Mckinsey as a Business Analyst..actually i'm looking to apply for a business school but the problem is I don't have a 4 years bachelor degree.It's because after I completed my Foundation in Accountancy,I'm straightly working with PwC under their school leaver programme where I need to work and taking ACCA at the same time.
1.So based on your knowledge,do you think that I have a chance to break into the business school without 4 years degree?
2.Do you think it's a good idea if I'm taking Oxford Brookes Degree in Applied Accounting which is the collaboration between ACCA and OBU where I need to complete the ethics module,then they will award me the degree based on the thesis and ACCA results.
Sorry quite long,
Thanks guys and have a nice day!!
