The Master of Accounting
allows students to develop accounting skills and the ability to
undertake independent research and critical thinking. For students
with limited or no prior accounting training, the program offers
conversion courses that allow them to meet the education entry
requirements of the Australian accounting professional bodies. Students
who need to complete additional courses to gain Australian accounting
accreditation can also do this as part of the program. Students with
prior accounting studies will take more advanced accounting courses, and
have the opportunity to undertake more substantial research projects. The
program is taught by research active academic staff. Students are
exposed to professional and scholarly academic accounting research,
enhancing their academic and professional competence. With
continuing high global demand for qualified accountants, graduates of
the program have a wide range of career opportunities in accounting
firms, government departments, banking and finance organisations,
corporations and other related accounting fields.
