I would also like to know about any masters degrees or phd there are involving accounting and if they are worth thinking about. I mainly would like to know what to do after my degree to become an accountant. Thank you for your time in reading this essay. I hope you can help me.

Answer 1 :
In London you hav e the famous London School of Economics. Imao it could be a goode institution for your accounting plans.
Answer 2 :
At ACC level it will be unrealistic to pursue LSE. What I recommend is - get into a university that will give you accreditation. After your BSc, it is not useful to do a Masters. Accounting is all about the experience and getting the professional qualification. By the second year of our BSc, you will have the chance to intern in an accounting firm. After you graduation, try to start in one of the graduate programmes in the auditing firms. You will clock your "experience hours" with the firm and meanwhile study for your qualification (ACA, or ICAS, for example.) You should pass your exams in 3 years and become a qualified accountant.
