Details
The Graduate Certificate in Business is an excellent re-introduction to tertiary learning and an opportunity to update skills or, as one-third of the Master of Business program, a pathway to higher level study.
This course allows graduates from recognised universities to either commence their studies in professional accounting or extend prior degree studies in accounting to meet the academic requirements for enrolment in the CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Institute of Public Accountants programs.
Students who complete specified units may also be eligible for exemptions within the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants qualifying program.
Upon completion, students may be eligible to articulate to the Graduate Diploma (Professional Accounting) and/or to the Masters program.
Units
Important Note: To ensure that the program builds on your prior academic and work experience and is consistent with your planned professional development, each Accountancy student should have a program plan. You will be able to obtain your plan after consultation with the Discipline Coordinator.
