Where could this take me?

Alongside your studies, you’ll get the opportunity to enhance your CV: by studying for a CIMA qualification, registering for the ACCA Future Talent Academy (an employability platform full of useful content, activities and advice), and by accessing our Centre for Professional Success (a source of relevant placements and employer projects).
