Masters (Coursework)
The Master of Professional Accounting (Extension) provides graduates with the necessary skills, knowledge, and expertise for a career in professional accounting practice, and meets the requirements for professional recognition, including CPA Australia (CPAA) and Chartered Accountants of Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ). The Extension course delves deeper into accounting practice with seven electives to choose from, including forensic accounting, international accounting, and ethics and governance.
The accounting subjects are highly practical and focussed on industry needs. The professional recognition of the course provides students with qualifications that enhance both their employment and promotion opportunities. It is recognised for educational membership entry into professional accounting bodies.
Career options include accounting and finance roles in commercial firms, professional accounting and advisory firms, and management-level positions in industry or government, as well as not-for-profit organisations. With the CPAA and CAANZ qualifications being recognised internationally, the prospect for overseas employment is also enhanced.
The course comprises 96 credit points, made up of 12 core subjects (totalling 72 credit points), plus four elective subjects (totalling 24 credit points).
