Leading international accounting body ACCA and STARS International University – the most internationally accredited national university in Uzbekistan – have launched a unique dual diploma programme.
Through this programme, students can obtain an ACCA qualification in addition to their bachelor’s degree.
Rector of STARS University, Bahram Gurbanov, said: “The launch of the Dual Diploma Programme with ACCA is a milestone that will be a turning point in the field of education in Uzbekistan. This achievement is the result of hard work and dedication 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 enable our graduates to be globally competitive and build successful futures. This move reaffirms our commitment to excellence and demonstrates that the boundaries of what is possible expand when we join forces to achieve a common goal.”
The programme is designed to give students a head start from the start. Students will receive both an undergraduate degree and an ACCA Advanced Diploma in Finance and Business, reducing the time it takes to achieve these qualifications.
Head of ACCA Central Asia, Zhanna Iskenovaadded: “This is an exciting strategic initiative for ACCA which sets a global precedent for us and which we hope will drive further growth in Uzbekistan.
“STARS University is the first institution to offer this program in the state language, Uzbek. Students studying in Uzbek are exempted from nine ACCA core subjects integrated into our curriculum. They only need to pass two subjects: Financial Reporting and Audit and Assurance, in English or Russian, to obtain the ACCA diploma.”
STARS University and ACCA say the partnership will enhance the professionalism and international competitiveness of students, opening up a wealth of international opportunities for them, which will have a positive impact on their skills, career development and employability.
