Overview

Master of Professional Accounting

Accountants are vital to the operation and success of businesses and organisations at all levels, and, not surprisingly, there is high demand for skilled accountants worldwide.

This CPA (Certified Practising Accountant) Australia and CA ANZ (Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand) accredited course at Southern Cross University is designed for business professionals pursuing a career change as an accountant. 

It will also suit those in the industry who need a recognised accounting qualification.

You'll become adept in complex accounting and business issues and grow your expertise in financial management, accounting information systems, financial reporting, auditing, corporate governance and contemporary accounting standards and research.

Graduates are equipped to work in accounting, financial services and management positions in business, government and not-for-profit organisations. 

Advanced standing may apply to students who have completed relevant undergraduate and postgraduate studies. 

A key feature of the MPA program is the opportunity to undertake a double-weighted industry research project that students can apply to their current or future workplaces.

As part of this course, students may choose to undertake a 150-hour internship (equivalent to one unit) in either a paid or volunteer role. 

This practical experience, combined with theoretical understanding, enhances the learning experience for students.
