ACCA Innovation at the Masters Level
 
The CHSBM and the ACCA came together in 2020 to develop a Masters degree programme that is sure to attract progressive students from across the globe to the UWI Cave Hill Campus.   At the time, the UWI was one of only seven universities in the world to offer a masters degree with the ACCA embedded.
 
The MSc. Accounting and Finance with ACCA Embedded allows students to prepare for and take ACCA examinations during the course of study for the  MSc. Accounting and Finance degree.  Students can potentially graduate with their masters degree and the professional accounting designation in the same calendar year, provided they have been exempted from or have completed the first nine ACCA examinations (F1-F9).  The brochure for the MSc. Accounting and Finance with ACCA Embedded can be viewed at
