Chartered Accounting
The Master of Professional Accounting (Chartered Accounting) is a unique dual qualification that enables you to complete both the Master of Professional Accounting and the prestigious Chartered Accountants (CA) program concurrently. This accelerated pathway not only streamlines your study but enables you to save up to two years compared to completing the two programs separately (CA ANZ).
Accounting Practice
The Accounting Practice specialisation, offered through the Master of Professional Accounting, provides a comprehensive foundation in essential accounting concepts, principles and applications. Designed to equip you with the advanced theoretical and technical knowledge required for success in a range of business contexts, this specialisation develops the analytical, problem-solving and communication skills needed to interpret, evaluate and present accounting information with confidence and clarity.
Accounting Research
The Accounting Research specialisation, offered through the Master of Professional Accounting, provides a strong foundation in key accounting concepts and practices, while developing advanced research capabilities.
This specialisation will strengthen both your technical accounting expertise and research skills, and provides a valuable pathway to a higher degree by research or PhD.
