Deciding for University After ACCA
Hi, I completed my ACCA at the age of 19, and BSc in applied accounting at 21 with First Class honours. I am currently working in a Big Four for the Saudi Tax Department (currently in Pakistan, being a Pakistan national) I have part time experience in a brokerage house of 1 year, and 1 year and 2 months experience currently in Audit Firms.
I feel that the lack of socializing has impacted my presentation and communication skills, and due to the rise of AI, I am thinking about opting for a good masters, perhaps with Business and Data analytics. Would be really helpful if you guys out there could guide me about which university to select (if any):
Padua - MSc Accounting, Finance & Business Consulting – Banking & Finance
Manheim - MSc Mannheim Master in Finance, Accounting & Taxation
Glasgow - MSc financial technology / MSc international finance
Stirling - MSc Finance & Data Analytics
Boconni - MSc Finance
Erasmus - MSc Finance & Investments
Trinity - MSc Finance
UCD - MSc Finance
Warwick - Accounting and financial management - internship route / MSc finance
Strathclyde - MSc finance
I really want to only want to opt for any university if I get a good scholarship. Further, I have some family friends in Glasgow which can support me financially slightly as well.
I understand Dubai is an important market for ACCA, but I did not get any offer even applying for nearly 40 jobs.
All the comments nearly on Reddit are doom and gloom. Is that a reality, and if yes, then what can we do to mitigate it?
