Canada, Aus or US?

 

[FAHMEED]

Canada, Aus or US?

In Australia, there are up to 100% scholarships available at Melbourne, ANU and Wollongong. There are limited scholarships available at Monash, LaTrobe etc, but they are very low.

In Canada, Carleton offers decent scholarships up to 16000 CAD. York University offers a scholarship dedicated to Quaid-e-Azam for Pakistanis. McGill also offers but that one is very low. In the same way, there are other universities like Alberta, Concordia that offer limited scholarships.

In the UK, there are very golden opportunities available for Chartered Accountancy, with the following programs:
1. Newcastle University Flying Start Programme.
2. Reading University Flying Start Programme.
3. Nottingham University Flying Start Programme.

The afore-mentioned degrees are offered in collaboration with PwC, and I would recommend these i you want to pursue CA.

4. Lancaster EY Degree. This is offered by Ernst & Young, and is equally attractive.

As far US is concerned, each university offers various scholarships and financial aid, and you will have to search for each university.

There are some US universities in Qatar, and students study there on financial loan. Many Pakistanis from Pats, KGS, LGS, Lyceum etc go there to study to earn an American degree.

my son, admission for Masters depends on your Bachelor degree's result just like your admission in alevel depends on olevel resultts and not class 8 results.
Scholarships are general for allcourses. However the UK degrees are not scholarships but degrees with work placements for eighteen months at an annual salary of GBP 20000. So you earn while studying plus you qualify for chartered accountancy in about 5 years!!!! SalmanPakRocks

What is the average time limit for doing ACCA? I do have A levels accounting.

As a full time student, it will take about 30 months to complete ACCA. But personally, I won't recommend you to do ACCA if you are a good student.

Why is that so?

 

[FAHMEED]

Why is that so?

Every other person studying Federal Board, Karachi Board and Punjab Board in Pakistan as well as in the Gulf is doing ACCA, and the overall rating is not as high as CA. Just a few more years' hardwork, and the payoff will be very high. ACCA has become synonymous with those who usually aren't able to get good grades back in their high school, and who have no other option other than this!

So what is the alternative?

 

[FAHMEED]

So what is the alternative?

Alternatives include ICAP, which is a very tough option and risky. What can be done is to study for a degree and then go for CMA, ICAEW, CIMA or CPA, to name a few. Another good option is doing ICMAP, which is for about four years and people are able to exercise good salaries and excellent career advancement. Please go through the last few pages as this topic has been discussed frequently.

I am interested in studying Engineering from abroad. My O level grades are 7A*s and 1A. My predicted grades would probably be 1 A* and 2As. I am interested in going to UK, Canada or Australia. What engineering options are suitable nowadays. Thanks in advance.

Well. There are a lot of good universities in these countries. However, in UK the manufacturing sector is facing a decline and thus the demand for engineering courses is very low, and therefore many universities are now offering scholarships. Engineering is a popular course in Canada and Australia. I would recommend Petroleum or Industrial engineering as good options. Chemical engineering, Aeronautical engineering and Civil engineering are also good options. It depends on you as what are your career plans: living in Canada or your home country. And in that way, your preferences would be different..
