Pattern of Cooperative
 
 
 
A "2+1+1" pattern is applied in this program. Students who are involved in this program will be transferred to AIT for a one-year study after their first two-year study of English and general courses in DUFE if they match the admission requirements of our partner. They are entitled to a BA in Accounting offered by AIT after completing necessary credits. Three choices are available in the fourth year:
 
 
Continue their study at AIT for ACCA exam. With an AIT BA in Accounting, they can apply for an exemption of 9 courses in ACCA. All the core courses in the last year in AIT aim at the other 5 courses required by ACCA. In other words, students can receive an ACCA certificate once they pass those 5 courses.
 
Study for a MA in Accounting at AIT.
