Mentors must have successfully completed the Oxford Brookes Online Mentoring course and become Registered Mentors for the BSc in Applied Accounting.

If you would like to choose me as your mentor you have to look at the mentoring service and read the Terms and Conditions. If you have more inquiries feel free to contact me. Then proceed to the Registration which is a very simple process.  

Yes. The Information Pack contains all the relevant details for the Research and Analysis Project, such us project titles, mentoring, guidance on referencing etc.

There are two submission periods each year, one in May and one in November.

You can pay on-line, when you submit your registration form. Payments can be made through Paypal, credit or debit card.

Yes, you can. Please read the Terms and Conditions.

 

It is very important. You MUST attach a spreadsheet as an Appendix in Excel format (.xlsx or .xls) which demonstrates the use of appropriate formulae. Otherwise, you are going to fail.

It is extremely important. Oxford Brookes University follows the Harvard referencing system. If you do not reference your project properly there is a high possibility to be accused for plagiarism and most probably fail to pass your project.

Plagiarism occurs when you produce someone else's work within your report without acknowledging the fact. Clearly if you fail to provide a reference for a sentence or paragraph that you took from another text then that is plagiarism. This is a serious disciplinary issue and may result in being permanently excluded from Oxford Brookes University and action from the ACCA may result.

You will need to go to: www.obusubmissions.co.uk. You should then click on “not yet registered” and enter your details. Your login details are not the same as your myACCA login details. Please keep your log-in details safe, as you will need to use them again when you access your results. Give yourself enough time and try to submit your project the earliest you can as the website get very busy close to deadline.

No.

You will receive a confirmation message that your submission has been received.

You will receive a certificate within 3 months of the release of the results and you will be invited to attend the next graduation ceremony either at Oxford Brookes University in Oxford or at a regional centre near you.

You will receive feedback on your online mark sheet, which will indicate which skills you passed and which skills you failed.

You can submit your project the maximum three times.

The most common reasons for failure are as follows:

- Insufficient analysis of the information that the student researches, often because insufficient information of the right kind has been researched.

- Not referencing the work properly.

- Information Technology and  in particular not including reasonable evidence that a spreadsheet has been used.

No, not the complete publication, but you should include a copy of the key financial statements including those of your comparator as an Appendix. However, each Appendix should be limited to eight sides.

No, but you must include a copy of the questionnaire and a summary of the responses as an Appendix.

Transcripts can only be ordered by graduates of the BSc programme, who have successfully completed the degree. Transcripts and award confirmation letters can be ordered through Oxford Brookes University on-line shop.

The BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting is equivalent to any undergraduate Honours degree undertaken at a UK university and is recognised by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). You will have to ask your own higher education authority if the BSc is recognized in your own country.
