Abstract
This paper seeks to determine whether student performance differs in what can be termed ‘academic’ and ‘professional’ undergraduate courses. The results indicate that student performance is lower in courses that are required to meet the academic requirements of the Accountancy profession than in other courses offered by the Department. Whilst this result was to be expected, the surprising result of the study was that ACA Accountancy courses experienced higher failure rates ACA Commercial Law courses.
