    Professional Accounting

    About

    Accounting is as essential to the ever-changing, interconnected business landscape as it’s ever been. Which means it’s also filled with exciting opportunities for bright minds looking to take their career in exciting and rewarding directions too.

    The Master of Professional Accounting is the ideal next step if you’re looking to add accounting to your business toolkit – and equip yourself with the skills to practice the discipline professionally.

    MAKE YOUR NEXT MOVE

    You don’t need to have a background in accounting to make it a part of your future career path. Throughout the two-year program, you’ll cover business, financial and management accounting in all kinds of forms.

    After an advanced preparatory component to get you started, you’ll cover mastery units and two application studies too – with topics like forensic accounting, global financial markets and corporate treasury management all available to tailor your study to your career ambitions.

    ELEVATE YOUR EXPERTISE

    By the time you’ve finished your study, you’ll have gained professional accreditation and established yourself as graduate career ready. More capable of navigating the ins and outs of modern professional accounting – and more skilled at putting the latest business thinking into practice.

    Studying this course will also qualify for associate membership with leading accounting institutions and industry bodies – including CPA Australia, the Institute of Public Accountants, and entry into the Chartered Accountant’s Program of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.
