The presentations were delivered by Dr. Pavel Procházka, Business Relationship Manager at the international professional body ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).The events were organised as part of the cooperation between Metropolitan University Prague and ACCA and reflected the fact that MUP obtained ACCA accreditation in 2025, enabling students to benefit from significant exemptions when pursuing this prestigious international qualification. In total, more than 80 students attended the presentations, confirming strong interest in linking academic studies with professional practice.
In his presentations, Dr. Procházka introduced the structure of the ACCA qualification, its international recognition, and its practical value for graduates’ future careers in finance, accounting, auditing, management, and consulting. Students gained detailed insights into the individual qualification levels, the examination process, and the exam exemptions available to MUP students as part of the accredited programme.
The presentations also covered career opportunities for ACCA graduates in both the Czech and international labour markets, the possibility of combining studies with professional experience, and the added value of the ACCA qualification for long-term career development in multinational companies as well as in the public sector. The subsequent discussion addressed practical issues such as study workload, language requirements, and professional growth pathways.
The ACCA guest presentations highlighted the importance of Metropolitan University Prague’s strategic cooperation with professional organisations and its strong emphasis on the practical orientation of study programmes and the employability of graduates. MUP students thus received valuable guidance on how to systematically build their professional careers already during their university studies.
