Accountancy degrees by distance learning
I'd like, if possible, to do an accountancy degree that gives the maximum credit for me being an FCMA.
Ideally, I'd like it to be part-time and by distance learning as I live in Australia and can't really just pop over to the UK to attend classes.
I've looked at the Oxford Brookes and Open University web sites but can't see anything that ticks all my boxes.
Can anyone suggest a course that does?

The Open University is not really set up for Australia based students (it would be a good option if you were in the UK). Nor is Oxford Brookes University, unless you're an eligible ACCA student.
University of London (External) is an option but it's not clear how flexible their credit transfer policies are: http://www.londonexternal.ac.uk
If you want to study from an Australian distance learning university, then Monash and University of New England are probably the most prestigious ones. Others with significant distance learning programs are Deakin, University of Southern Queensland and Charles Sturt University.
Your ACMA/FCMA qualification should be assessed as equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree. Hence you should be able to look for a credit of up to 2 years full time equivalent out of the normal 3 years FTE required for a degree.

Thank you for that, Jeremy, it's very helpful and I will look in to it.
