    I also don't think it matters much which qualification out of ACA, CA, CIMA, ACCA (AAT is definitely lower level), they will all unlock doors for you, even if your career goes into a completely different direction in the future. If you have aspirations to work internationally, I believe that ACCA is more internationally recognised and studied by more international students, compared to all the others. This might not be so important when you already have a relevant business degree under your belt (which most UK graduates lack, but is critical in the rest of Europe).
    Maybe you can also check out the practical aspects, like the time limits for study, the length of business experience required, online resources, your nearest exam centre, etc. 
    Whatever you decide, I am sure it will be a great decision, you can't go too far wrong in gaining an accounting qualification. Good luck with the studying!
