If your degree isn’t in the exemptions database but is in a subject related to the CGMA Professional Qualification you could still be awarded some exemptions from the Certificate in Business Accounting.
What degrees are considered?
Undergraduate and postgraduate degrees not found in the exemptions database are considered for exemptions.
If you have studied outside of the UK we will use the UK National Recognition Information Centre to determine how your qualification compares.
Qualifications must be comparable to at least a UK certificate of higher education to be considered for exemptions.
What exams will I be exempt from?
What exams you are exempt from will depend on:
- Your degree certificate and course transcripts
- What grouping your degree falls in to
