Please can someone explain to me how to proceed to the oxford brookes. ive read all the
instructions on acca websites, but there are certain issues that remain uncertain. I need
to find a project mentor, and how will I inform Acca, is it by mail? Concerning the SLS,
ive read that i need to give an explanation to my mentor and then afer that i send it
along with my research project. Thus how will they assess the SLS?

As long as you are opted in and meet the criteria (Registration date, papers sat, english
language qualification etc) you do not need to inform the ACCA.
You can apply direct to Oxford Brookes to be eligible to submit for the degree. All the major

tuition providers have mentoring services or you can find a private one through Oxford
Brookes as they hold a register of official mentors.
There is guidance available on line and in text books regarding the content of the SLS, one
of the mentors jobs is to review this prior to submission to check that you have addressed
all the questions set.
Good luck.

I have just completed my RAP but am scared, the 2012 financial statement are not yet
published and I used published financial results up to 2011 and I have stated why I have
used results to 2011.However the guidelines says the latest statements, is there any harm?

Hey everyone. I would strongly suggest that you guys go through the OBU BSc Infopack. It
is of critical importance, and answers all the general queries you might have:

All the best.

Ok everyone I have decided to obtain this degree but I have no idea how to get started? As
I am in a place where there are no tuition providers, so will you guys be kind enough to let
me know about it? What about mentoring? And what role does a mentor play?

Hi @sameed As the OBU Forum moderator let me welcome you and any other newcomers
to our site. I am confident that like many students you will find our contributors a great
help (and comfort) to you as you embark on producing your RAP.
Your first port of call should be the OBU Information Pack 2013/2014 which gives a lot of
useful information about how to do the RAP and obtain the degree. It is available either on
the ACCAglobal website or via this link
http://business.brookes.ac.uk/undergraduate/2014/acca/files/information-pack.pdf
It can be a bit heavy going in places and therefore I am in the process of producing an
article which I hope we can get on the site in the next few days that is a much briefer
version but sets out some of the main points and it does address the subject of choosing a
mentor. One of the problems with the latter is that you need a mentor but there are good
mentors and bad mentors and sometimes you wont know which you have until you are
part way through. nevertheless we hope on this site to fill the gap, should you find that
you dont have a mentor who measures up. We are able to provide a huge amount of
advice and guidance from our experience so provided you are willing to put the effort in
from your side, there is no reason why you will not achieve your objective and get the BSc
degree.
I suggest that you look at the list of 20 topics (in the Info Pack) from which you have to
select one for your report and delve into some of our forum topics as this may give you an
idea of what is involved. (I hope to get some articles out towards the end of next month on
how to go about choosing your topic and company but this would give you a head start
until they appear). Normally a RAP takes about 3 months to produce but at this stage think
about what topics interest you, and what company or business sectors appeal as it is better
to take time to select something that you may be enthusiastic about rather than rush
headlong into something that you will find dreary and boring!
So to you @sameed and everyone else new to this site congratulations! like our
previous students, you have discovered one of the best sources of help and advice there is
for the OBU RAP and to our returning students welcome back!

@ksandrinedfola It depends on your interests, as enthusiasm in your topic and subject
company are of prime importance (I touched upon this in response to a comment on Forum
Topic 8 choosing a company where to start, which you may like to look at).
I shall be doing an article on this very topic for the site next month. In the meantime I have
produced a few general articles based on my 10 years of RAP experience which may be of
interest to you that are available if you use the link below:

@sameed some articles have been posted and you (and anyone else) can reach them on
the link below if you havent already found them.
http://opentuition.com/obu/
I will be finishing the article about choosing a topic next month (unfortunately time is really
tight for me at the moment) and producing some FAQs that deal with various aspects of the
RAP, SLS and submission which I think will be generally useful to students
