This involves working in an accounting role with an ICAEW member organisation during the third year of your course. Depending on the organisation and the work experience, the placement may contribute to the first year of the ACA qualification and you may also be able to take professional ACA exams. You can work in the UK or overseas, before returning to WBS for the final year of the course. The UPP placement year contributes to the overall degree classification.
