Overview

Master of Business (Professional Accounting)

Throughout the QUT program, you will develop advanced skills in financial reporting, accounting, financial management, auditing, and budgeting. 

Additionally, you will be introduced to the specialist area of taxation and gain foundational knowledge in economics, data analysis, and business and corporate law.

As the accounting profession undergoes increasing automation, the demand for accountants and professionals to embrace technological advancements is rising. 

QUT prepares its students for the evolving accounting field through practical, hands-on learning opportunities. 

As part of your studies, you will gain expertise in operating and navigating widely used, leading accounting and tax return software and cloud-based accounting technology platforms. 

This knowledge will equip you with the technological expertise to confidently handle and utilise accounting information systems.

Real-world learning is also an integral part of this course. 

Throughout your studies, you will engage in a wide range of real-world case studies, allowing you to apply the theoretical knowledge you have gained to practical situations. 

In the final capstone unit, you will collaborate with a small peer group to address a genuine client problem for an industry partner, providing you with invaluable practical experience.
