The University of South Wales is an outstanding ACCA approved teaching centre and is an ACCA Platinum Approved Learning Partner, the highest level of accreditation that a tuition provider can obtain. 

HND students from our college are entitled to up to four exemption exams from ACCA and a certain amount of scholarship if they apply to enter the University’s final undergraduate study in Accounting and Finance. Moreover, the living expenses in Wales are low. The annual tuition fee for undergraduate study and living expenses cost about 150,000RMB.  The University also offers a 50% discount to students who carry on to their master’s study.
