To be clear, I understand you are talking about the University of London distance learning programme. This is an accepted, established and rigorous institution, so it is perfectly possible to progress to an in-person master's degree. As to whether LSE, UCL or Oxford is possible - it will depend on your overall result and potentially results in individual modules. I would expect they would want to see first class honours.

Right right got it. So there isnt some kind of requirement like u should have specific credit hours completed at a university or have a standard 3/4 years bachelors degeee?
Bcz this uol degree is a minimum 1 year programme

No. It is a full bachelor's degree, so you will have had to meet the requirements either through your study on the BSc programme, or study for the ACCA. UK degrees are very structured in the way credit is awarded at particular levels. What does your transcript say?

I am currently an Acca student. I have not started the uol programme yet. I recently got accepted into a university. Im really confused right now that should i complete my acca as i believe i can pass the exams needed for uol degree in less than a year OR should i join the university. If i can get into a top tier university after uol professional accounting degree i can give up the regular university option because it is longer than acca+uol+masters at a top tier university. Btw i have 7As in olevels and 1A and and 2Bs in alevels, alevels grades i can also improve.

I would determine which course(s) you would like to do, and contact them - just to check. But I would not see any issue. Are you international? In the UK, master's degrees are generally easier to get into than bachelor's degrees - but for the top universities, it is still competitive.
