is extremely specialized: the curriculum [2] requires study sufficient for professional practice (often at the major-level) in financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, and taxation.
Due to the specialised nature of the B.Acy., it is a professional degree course that is offered infrequently.
In Malta, it is a two-year course that can be taken after qualifying in Bachelor of Commerce only for students who obtain exceptional grades in their previous course.
When the degree is recognized for this purpose, [3] graduates will therefore pursue the CPA or C.A.
(or other) designations, and thus take up "articles" at an accounting firm accredited for training, so as to meet the relevant work experience requirements, and will then also sit the associated Professional Examination.
