The class of BSc degree will be based on two factors as follows:
1. The grade gained for the Research and Analysis Project.
2. The student’s numerical average mark from ACCA exams in the Fundamentals Skills papers (F4–F9) that have sat and passed.
In case that the calculated average mark is not a whole number, the calculated average will be rounded up or down accordingly.
If the student has been given an exemption from any of the three papers F4–F6, no mark is available and so will not be included in the calculation of the student’s ACCA exams numerical average mark.
The class of BSc degree in Applied Accounting for each combination of ACCA average mark and Research and Analysis Project grade is shown in the following table.
Class of Degree | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
ACCA average mark | First | Upper Second | Lower Second | Third |
68 or more | A, B, C | - | - | - |
67 | A, B | C | - | - |
66 | A | B, C | - | - |
60-65 | - | A, B, C | - | - |
59 | - | A, B | C | - |
58 | - | A | B, C | - |
54-57 | - | - | A, B, C | - |
53 | - | - | A, B | C |
For example, a student with an ACCA average mark of 62 and a grade A for the Project will be awarded the BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting with Upper Second Honours.
