B.Com with ACCA at MAPS, Mangalore
Pursue a regular B.Com while progressing through a globally recognised ACCA qualification — within a professional, career-focused academic environment.
Built Around Professional Readiness
MAPS — the Mangalore Academy of Professional Studies — has partnered with LeAF Academy to offer its B.Com students the opportunity to pursue ACCA alongside their regular degree.
MAPS was built around professional, career-oriented education, making the combination with a globally recognised professional qualification a natural extension of its academic environment.
Career-first academic culture
Students are accustomed to combining university coursework with professional-body coaching, so the rhythm of studying B.Com and ACCA together fits naturally.
Professional exposure
Analytical thinking, professional communication and exam discipline add workplace relevance beyond lecture-hall learning.
Outcome-oriented environment
The focus is graduate employability, aligning closely with the demands of a student progressing through ACCA alongside a degree.
Why ACCA Alongside B.Com Makes Sense
This is not simply two qualifications running in parallel. The B.Com foundation and ACCA's applied, internationally benchmarked curriculum reinforce one another.
MAPS students are expected to receive a minimum of five ACCA paper exemptions, allowing the programme to begin at Applied Skills rather than Applied Knowledge.
Less repetition
Core accounting, law and taxation concepts are encountered through both the B.Com and ACCA lens.
A head start on advanced papers
Early exposure to financial reporting, audit, financial management and performance management supports later B.Com coursework.
Better exam technique
ACCA's applied, scenario-based style develops analytical habits that transfer to university exams.
Your ACCA Journey Across Six Semesters
Students entering the programme are expected to be exempt from Business and Technology, Management Accounting, Financial Accounting, Corporate and Business Law and Taxation. The remaining six papers are then mapped across the B.Com years.

Two Qualifications. One Coordinated Schedule.
The B.Com degree is awarded by MAPS / its affiliating university. ACCA is awarded by ACCA (UK). LeAF Academy provides the ACCA coaching component and does not award either qualification.
Students remain full B.Com candidates regardless of their ACCA progress, and coaching is planned around the college timetable.
What You Need to Know
B.Com admission requirements are set by MAPS and its affiliating university. ACCA registration has its own eligibility requirements and should be confirmed with ACCA / LeAF Academy.
This programme has three separate cost components: MAPS B.Com fees, ACCA's registration/subscription/exam fees, and LeAF Academy coaching fees. Current figures should be confirmed directly.
