Embedded Bachelor's Degree with Dual Diploma: STARS Embedded Program

No other university in the world — neither in Europe, the USA, nor China — offers a program like this. It is possible only in Uzbekistan. Only at STARS University.

What is the Embedded Program?

The STARS Embedded Program is a unique model of an integrated bachelor’s degree, where the university curriculum is combined with the international ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) certification.
This program has no equivalent: students simultaneously complete a national bachelor’s degree and receive the British professional diploma ACCA Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business.

As a result, graduates obtain a dual diploma that is recognized in more than 180 countries worldwide.

Legal Foundation and Urgent Need

According to Presidential Decree No. PQ-4611, all major companies, banks, insurance organizations, and state-owned enterprises in Uzbekistan are required to transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
To achieve this, the country needs thousands of professionals with international qualifications — especially holders of the ACCA diploma.

ACCA officially confirms that the global shortage of auditors, finance professionals, and accountants trained to international standards is one of the key challenges of the 21st century.
This trend is expected to continue for at least 20 to 30 years.

Trilingual Education — Full Flexibility and Unique Outcomes

At STARS, students can choose the language of instruction: Uzbek, Russian, or English.
This fundamentally distinguishes our model from any other ACCA partner programs — worldwide, these programs are typically delivered in English only.
Only STARS allows students to complete the entire educational process in the state or Russian language and still receive a British professional diploma of global recognition — with the same rights and international status.

This provides comfort and accessibility for both students and parents — with no language barriers or extra costs for foreign language preparation.

How the Program Works: Step-by-Step

• Years 1–2: Students complete core bachelor’s subjects and begin modules in international reporting and finance, including the basic ACCA modules.

• Year 3: They receive automatic exemptions from seven ACCA exams.

• Years 3–4: They take only F7, F8, and Ethics — and obtain the ACCA Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business.

All stages are supported by certified ACCA tutors, without interrupting their bachelor’s studies.
All exams are held directly on the STARS campus — no need to travel abroad.

Guaranteed Return on Investment

Approximately 90% of all ACCA-related expenses are covered by the university.
This saves the student up to 30 million UZS compared to registering and paying for all procedures independently.
If the student successfully passes the final exams on the first attempt, some or all of the expenses are reimbursed.

How the Embedded Program Differs from Other Formats

This is not a traditional bachelor’s program — it includes a fully integrated international professional track.
It’s not just a dual education — the student obtains a real professional ACCA diploma alongside their university degree.
It’s a new model of workforce development: one diploma is awarded by the state, the other — by an international professional association.

Additional Opportunities

The program includes practical modules such as SAP, 1C, and Microsoft Office Specialist.
Students have access to the ACCA global platform, receive mentorship and career support.
Graduates of the Embedded Program become a ready talent pool for government, corporations, banks, and international audit firms.

Who is this Program For?

• For school and lyceum graduates who envision a career in finance, auditing, management, or entrepreneurship.

• For parents and investors who seek guaranteed international results without overpaying or facing unnecessary expenses.

• For employers who need qualified staff in IFRS, with no need for retraining or time loss.

STARS Embedded — More Than a Diploma

This program is a strategic bridge between the national education system and global business.
STARS University is developing a new generation of specialists for key sectors: finance, audit, IFRS, IT, and management consulting.

This is the first time a student can study fully in Uzbek (or Russian) and obtain a British professional diploma of international standard — without traveling abroad or facing language barriers.

The STARS Embedded Program is not just an alternative. It is the only path for those who want to stay home and still remain globally competitive.
