Graduation

 Announcement Oxford Brookes University has regretfully had to cancel the graduation ceremony scheduled to take place in Dubai on Saturday 25 April 2026, due to the ongoing situation in Dubai and the surrounding region. Frequently Asked Questions will be added to this page shortly.

We look forward to hosting you at one of our future graduation ceremonies that are planned for Kuala Lumpur and Dubai in late spring 2027. We will contact you with details of these ceremonies closer to the time, and we hope you will be able to belatedly celebrate with us.

Thank you for your understanding.


ACCA and Oxford Brookes University have worked together to develop a BSc (Hons) Degree in Applied Accounting, which is available exclusively to ACCA students who wish to obtain a degree while studying towards the ACCA qualification.

Once students have completed the degree, they are invited to a regional graduation ceremony based on where they are located. We currently offer graduation ceremonies in Oxford, Dubai and Malaysia.

Eligibility to attend the Oxford ceremony

Please be aware that it is difficult for us to add a graduate to the UK ceremony, due to limited places and frequent visa issues.

Places at our UK ceremonies are limited due to the hall capacity and we must keep numbers under strict control so we can allow graduates who currently live in the UK or Europe to attend the ceremony.

We always have a high number of graduates from various countries asking to attend our UK ceremonies but unfortunately the transfer is not possible unless you meet one of the below criteria:

  • a British passport
  • a visa for the UK
  • you have recently studied or worked in the UK
  • you have recently held a UK visa.
  • you have relocated to an eligible country (Europe/USA/Canada) and can provide a proof of address.

You can apply for a transfer by emailing the ACCA Graduation Office. We will require you to send evidence of the criteria before confirming the transfer.
