Have you ever wished you had a superpower? In a recent episode of Uni Enrol’s “Degree Unboxing,” host Angel Lim visited the vibrant University of Reading Malaysia campus to find out what it takes to possess one of the most sought-after skills in the corporate world.
When asked about her number-one superpower, Dr Evelita Estela Celis, an Associate Professor at Henley Business School in University of Reading Malaysia, had a brilliant answer: “I can find a missing 10 dollars in a million-dollar balance sheet!” If you have a sharp eye for detail and are looking for an elite Accounting & Finance course in Malaysia, Dr Evelita’s insights into the University of Reading Malaysia Accounting & Finance degree will show you exactly how to turn that superpower into a highly successful global career!

💼 Beyond Just Auditing
When most people think of an accounting degree, their minds immediately jump to becoming an auditor. While auditing is a fantastic career path, Dr Evelita explained that the field offers so much more. Graduates who study Accounting & Finance at the University of Reading Malaysia are perfectly positioned to pursue exciting, high-level roles such as:
- Financial Analyst
- Tax Consultant
- Forensic Accountant
🎓 The “1+2 Award”: A Triple Threat Qualification
What truly makes the BSc Accounting and Finance program at UoRM (under the globally recognised University of Reading, Malaysia) stand out from the crowd is its unique “1+2 Award” structure.
Students don’t just graduate with a standard university degree. Because the program is deeply partnered with the prestigious ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales), eligible students actually graduate with three major qualifications:
- BSc Accounting and Finance Degree from the University of Reading.
- CFAB (Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business): A highly respected certificate covering the six foundational modules of the ICAEW.
- BFP (Business and Finance Professional) Designation: A professional designation that allows graduates to legally add the letters “BFP” right after their name upon qualifying!
This powerful combination acts as a direct, fast-tracked pathway to the ultimate goal: achieving the full Chartered Accountancy qualification. Having these globally recognised credentials opens up international opportunities in finance, business, and corporate leadership.
⏳ Why 4 Years Instead of 3?
You might notice that this specific degree takes four years to complete, while many other standard programs only take three. Why the extra year?
It’s because the program includes a massive, fully embedded one-year industrial placement during Year 3! In partnership with Authorised Training Employers of ICAEW, students are deployed to work in real, top-tier accounting firms for an entire year before returning to campus for their final year of studies.
This extensive, hands-on training gives students a monumental advantage in the job market. In fact, Dr Evelita proudly shared that because of this intensive placement year, most of her students receive full-time employment offers from their placement companies before they even graduate!
