Master graduates will be directly exempted from the first nine courses of ACCA (F 1-F9), thus greatly improving their competitiveness in the future workplace.
● Bangor University Banking
Although the comprehensive ranking of Bangor University is average, his banking major has been in the top two in Europe for a long time. At the same time, Bangor Business School was also the first to set up banking &; British universities offering MBA courses in finance are rich and humanized.
