The University of Chichester has secured significant recognition for its Accounting and Finance Manager Degree Apprenticeship, with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) granting 9 degree-level exemptions.

This new accreditation means that apprentices graduating from the programme can now progress towards becoming chartered accountants with fewer exams to complete. This provides a substantial advantage for apprentices, enabling them to qualify more quickly, and offers potential cost savings for employers.
The ACCA's recognition highlights the high quality of the university's programme and its strong alignment with professional industry standards. It confirms that the apprenticeship equips students with the essential knowledge and practical skills that accounting employers actively seek.
