There is no difference, but accomplishment is used more often.
- English (US)
Both are quite similar, but are usually used in slightly different situations. However, they may be used interchangeably as you feel fit.
A sense of accomplishment would mean one feels that they accomplished something. One would feel pride and/or pleasure in completing or overcoming an obstacle or task, for example.
A sense of achievement means one reached a goal they were aiming for, and feels good about it. After all, wouldn't you feel proud that you completed something you had been working towards?
(I'll use a chess game to show that you can use both in similar situations)
Sense of accomplishment: "I felt a sense of accomplishment as my queen chess piece took my opponent's king piece. It was a long and tough game, but I was victorious."
A sense of achievement: "I felt a sense of achievement as my queen chess piece took my opponent's king piece. It was satisfying to defeat a veteran chess player, as I had never been able to do so before."
