    A lot depends on your own personal circumstances. If you can afford to do a postgrad full time for the year, then I'd say go for it. If you're looking to go down the ACCA route, the PDA in DIT will give you exemptions from F1-F6, F8 & F9 and the DCU one will give exemptions from F1-F5, F7 & F9. You can check them here.

    ACCA or dip in accounting?

    That's like saying "should I do a dip in law or sit my bar exams."

    There's no comparison. ACCA is often considered equivalent to a masters. A dip is a step above a foundation course.

    As An Citeog points out, the professional diploma is a route worth considering as it gives so many exemptions from the ACCA exams.
