Professional Recognition for WOU's Business Programmes Facilitates Career Progression

GEORGETOWN, Malaysia - Jan. 10, 2017 - PRLog -- Wawasan Open University (WOU) has always taken pride in offering quality, recognised part-time programmes that meet the needs and expectations of students. WOU has also ensured that the programmes not only meet the standards of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) but also the standards of relevant professional bodies.

Hence, it came as no surprise when WOU's Bachelor of Business (Hons) in Accounting (BBAC) programme obtained accreditation from the Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC). This degree programme has already gained recognition and exemptions from international professional bodies such as Chartered Management Institute of Accountants (CIMA), Institute Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW), Certified Practising Accountants Australia (CPA Australia) as well as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). WOU's Accounting degree programme also meets the eligibility requirements for graduates to apply for the Malaysian Institute of Accounting (MIA) qualifying examination.

She had opted to pursue her degree in Accounting with WOU as she could not find a more suitable learning institution than WOU. "WOU offers quality, undergraduate part-time programmes at an affordable rate". She found it hard to locate other learning institutions that came close to WOU in these aspects.
