Back to the Master of Accounting page
The Master of Accounting allows students to develop accounting skills and the ability to undertake independent research and critical thinking.
For students with accounting background, limited or no prior accounting training, the program offers conversion courses that allows them to meet the education entry requirements of the Australian accounting professional bodies while assuming little or no existing background or knowledge of accounting on the part of those enrolled.
Students with prior accounting studies may apply for the program, but may be required to take more advanced accounting courses if they continue to study the same area as their undergraduate major.

Academic Advice
Before applying for any exemptions towards the program,
students (except the ANU students) should include an assessment of their qualification completed
by either CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in
Australia or the Institute of Public Accountants. If you are eligible for exemptions, you will need to substitute courses that you get exemptions with CBE electives. Please note students will not receive any credit unless they are a full CPA or a CA.
If after reading through these guidelines you are unsure
about your which courses to enrol in, you can come to an academic advice
session at Melville Hall during Orientation week.
