Is my career path achievable?I'm currently doing my first level (Level 2) at AAT and I'm looking to complete all 4 levels and then do a course at Uni to get up to PHD level.
How many years would this take? Is it achievable with my current course?
Thanks. -

Re: Is my career path achievable?Unfortunately it isn't, in order for you to a do a PHD (in what I assume is) Accountancy you need an undergraduate degree and would need to complete a masters degree as well. Why do you want to do a PHD instead of becoming a Chartered accountant?

Re: Is my career path achievable?You need a masters degree before moving on to PhD. Since you are doing your AAT's, i recommend you complete your ACCA's or CIMA as well. This will give you much more credibility and will prepare you for a senior level post in firms.(Original post by PeterG92)

Re: Is my career path achievable?my friend had a similar issue, they managed to get a job with RSM Tenon in Swindon and get training on the job. I think thats your best route.
There is a new site about to launch called careers4students.co.uk and I know there are a few accounting firms signed up to it and advertising already. Might be worth signing up and checking it out when it's live. -
