This program is the first of its kind in Zimbabwe, uniquely designed with an ICAZ-endorsed curriculum and offered on a part-time basis. This program will be launched officially this year, and the first-class commencement is set for February 2025.
The Bachelor of Science Honours in Professional Accounting Degree stands out as the only accounting degree in Zimbabwe that integrates the ICAZ competence framework directly into its program design.
