If you are from a non-accounting background or do not have a CPA Australia-accredited undergraduate degree with a major in accounting, the Master of Professional Accounting is for you.
It will give you the training in accounting and related areas needed to meet the academic requirements for:
Associate membership with CPA (Certified Practising Accountant) Australia and admission to CPA Australia's CPA Program and the CA (Chartered Accountant) Program of Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand.
This program will enable you to develop the technical and conceptual skills needed to become an accountant.
In addition, it will develop your ability to analyse, critique, and synthesise various accounting and related principles, methods, and techniques.
This program will also provide academic support to help you prepare for CPA Australia's CPA Program and ACCA's (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) professional-level examinations.
The program has a foundation component (Graduate Certificate) which allows those without a prior degree in Professional Accounting (or equivalent) and those looking for a career change to participate.
Those with qualifications and experience in the field can also enter the program and progress to the advanced level of study.
This program offers two pathways: the Standard Pathway and the Advanced Pathway. The current selection is the Standard Pathway.
