Leading global accountancy body ACCA and STARS International University – the most internationally accredited national university in Uzbekistan – have formed a unique dual degree programme.
Under the programme students will be able to obtain an ACCA qualification alongside their bachelor’s degree.
Commenting on this, STARS University rector, Bahram Gurbanov, said: “The launch of the dual degree programme with ACCA is a landmark event that will be a turning point in the field of education in Uzbekistan. This achievement is the result of hard work and a commitment to innovation, and I am confident that it will open new horizons for our students.
“Together with ACCA, we are creating unique opportunities that will allow our graduates to be competitive on a global level and build a successful future. This step confirms our commitment to excellence and demonstrates that the boundaries of what is possible expand when we unite our efforts to achieve a common goal.”
The programme is designed to give students a competitive edge from the start. Students will receive both a bachelor’s degree and an ACCA Advanced Diploma in Finance and Business simultaneously reducing the time needed to achieve these credentials.
ACCA Central Asia head, Zhanna Iskenova, added: “This is an exciting strategic initiative for ACCA which marks a global precedent for us which we hope will ensure further growth in Uzbekistan.
“STARS University is the first institution to offer this programme in the state language, Uzbek. Students studying in Uzbek receive exemptions from nine core ACCA subjects integrated into our curriculum. They only need to pass two subjects – Financial Reporting and Audit and Assurance either in English or Russian to earn the ACCA diploma.”
STARS University and ACCA say the collaboration will enhance the professionalism and global competitiveness of the students opening numerous international opportunities for them positively impacting their skills, career progression and employability.
