The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) received its Royal Charter in 1854 and is the oldest professional body of accountants in the world. It was the first Institute to adopt the designation ‘Chartered Accountant’ and the designatory letters ‘CA’ are still an exclusive privilege.

ICAS prides itself on setting and maintaining high professional and educational standards and is excited by the opportunity this degree programme offers to expand these standards into higher education. Whilst maintaining the quality and relevance of the final qualification, this degree allows students to follow a unique path to qualification not available elsewhere.

“Driving excellence in education is at the core of our strategy. Our involvement with Ernst & Young and LUMS has allowed us to co-develop an innovative, relevant and rigorous degree programme offering undergraduates an unrivalled opportunity to fast-track their CA qualification after graduation.”

I was attracted to the EY Degree because it gave me the opportunity to work for a 'Big 4' accounting firm while doing my degree.
