Study accounting abroad from Nepal

For accounting, Australia and the UK are where most of our students go, because their degrees count towards CPA, CA ANZ or ACCA. Choose a course those bodies accredit, or the degree won't lead to an accounting job. +2 management works for a bachelor's. Last year 298 of our 331 business and accounting files were approved.

Country by country

Where to study accounting

Studying accounting abroad, country by country
Country	Accreditation	Length	Cost	Notes
Australia	CPA Australia, CA ANZ, IPA	Bachelor's 3 years; master's 2 years	High	Most popular; also the most crowded for migration
UK	ACCA, ICAEW and others give exemptions	Bachelor's 3 years; MSc 1 year	High	ACCA is already known in Nepal, so the qualification travels
Netherlands, Finland	Local bodies	Bachelor's 3 to 4 years; master's 1 to 2 years	Medium	Accounting and finance in English; jobs need the local language
Cyprus	Some ACCA exemptions	1 to 4 years	Low	Republic of Cyprus universities only

The name of the degree matters less than who accredits it. A Bachelor of Business majoring in accounting can count fully towards CPA Australia; a similar-sounding degree at another college may not count at all. Check before you accept.

Aashma studies a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) in Sydney. Another agent's file was refused in 2024; the second file, with her 2-year gap explained, was approved.

Entry requirements

What you need from Nepal

After +2: management with accountancy is the natural fit. Science students are accepted for most bachelor's.
After BBS, BBA or BCom: a master's in accounting or finance. Your accounting subjects may earn exemptions.
Graduates from other fields: a 2-year professional accounting master's in Australia, built for people without an accounting degree.
English: IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 for most courses. Australia's professional year and migration routes ask for more later.

Levels and course types

Which level fits you

Bachelor's in accounting or business majoring in accounting (3 years): straight after +2.
Professional accounting master's (2 years in Australia): for graduates from another field.
Master's in accounting or finance (1 year in the UK): for BBS, BBA and BCom graduates.

Registration and language

Before you can work in the field

Accounting is a profession with its own bodies. In Australia, CPA Australia, CA ANZ and the IPA accredit degrees and assess them for migration. In the UK, ACCA and ICAEW grant exemptions for accredited degrees.

In Nepal, you'd still go through ICAN to practise as a chartered accountant. A foreign degree can save papers, not the whole route.

After study

Jobs, honestly

Honestly: accounting is one of the most crowded fields for international graduates, in Australia especially. The graduates who get accounting jobs have local work experience, often from Australia's 1-year professional year, and strong spoken English with clients.

Without that, many accounting graduates work in bookkeeping, payroll or admin first. Plan for it.

How we help

Your accounting application

We check that each course is accredited by the body you'll need, match the course to your +2 or degree subjects, and explain any study gap with documents, the way we did for Aashma's second file.

An honest note

This isn't the right course for you if

You chose accounting only because it was on a PR list. It's crowded, and lists change.
You'd accept any course with accounting in the name. Accreditation decides whether it leads anywhere.
You don't want client-facing work in English. That's most of the job abroad.

Questions about studying accounting abroad

Which country is best for accounting for Nepali students?

Australia and the UK, because their degrees count towards CPA, CA ANZ or ACCA. Australia has more jobs; the UK has 1-year master's and ACCA exemptions.

Can I study accounting abroad after +2 science?

Yes. Most accounting bachelor's accept any +2 stream with good English and maths.

Can I study accounting abroad without an accounting degree?

Yes, through a 2-year professional accounting master's in Australia, built for graduates from other fields.

Is accounting good for PR in Australia?

It's possible but crowded, and invitations for accountants have been hard to get. Choose accounting because you want the work, not only for PR.

Does ACCA from Nepal count abroad?

ACCA is a UK body, so papers you pass count everywhere ACCA is recognised. Some degrees abroad give exemptions from papers you haven't done yet.

Is accounting different from a business degree?

Yes. Accounting leads to a profession with accreditation; general business doesn't. See business and MBA for the wider options.
