Diploma
for Graduates in Accounting
How
you study
Studying
as an External student offers you maximum flexibility in planning
your studies; you can study at a time and place to suit yourself
using the introductory study materials the University provide as the starting
point. These have been specifically commissioned and written by
academics of the University with the needs of independent learners
in mind.
Although
you may study independently, you may wish to
network with other registered students to plan
a mutually supportive study programme. In a growing number of
countries there are institutions which offer
a range of full:time, part:time, correspondence or online tuition.
A range of other study opportunities, and support
such as weekend courses or summer schools may also be available.
When
you first register as an External student for the Diploma for
Graduates in Accounting, you will receive:
- Studying
for a Degree in the Humanities and Social Sciences
by P.Dunleavy (Macmillan)
- a Student
handbook
- subject
guides for each unit studied
- past examination
papers and Examiners' reports
- an IOLIS:
CD:ROM (for certain legal units)
- a copy of
the Regulations
- access to
the University of London Online Library with
a comprehensive selection of links to relevant materials.
Each
year you continue to register as an External student, you will
receive an updated Handbook; the relevant course pack for any
additional courses you begin studying; any sample/past examination
papers and reports not previously received.
A
note about textbooks: In addition to the materials the University
the University provide, you will be advised to buy some books,
and others you will need to refer to in a library. As far as possible,
you should consider the facilities available locally to you, and
how accessible books are likely to be before registering as an
External student. The Introductory booklist provides you with
initial reading for the subjects you are most likely to take in
your first year.
