There are four stages in the Graduate Member programme,
each stage requiring the passing of four subjects. A detailed
list of the subjects is provided in Figure 2, and Figure 3
below shows the articulation process with each stage leading
naturally to the next one, and building on what has been
learnt in previous stages.
Stage 4 of the graduate program consists of the totality of
the subjects in the Graduate Conversion Program. These
subjects may be undertaken directly (without completing Stage
1 to 3) by holders of degrees or professional qualifications
in disciplines other than accounting.
Students completing the Graduate Member programme become
Graduate Members of the ICMA, and could apply for Associate
membership once they have acquired the 3 years experience
levels required by the Institute.

Students who have partially completed programmes at
universities, recognised professional bodies and other
educational and training establishments may apply for credit,
on a subject-by-subject basis. Further, it is one of the
objectives of the Institute to accredit Graduate Conversion
Programmes offered to non-accountants to convert to
accountancy at recognised universities and educational bodies.
Holders of Graduate Diplomas in Accounting and above, will be
thus eligible for Graduate membership in the Institute.
The Institute’s own Graduate Conversion Programme,
consists the four subjects of Stage 4 in Figure above, taught
at a University 4th Year (Honours/Graduate Diploma) level.
