Introduction
Please note that the Graduate Certificate in Professional Accounting is
only considered as an exit point from the MPA or MPAS and students would not normally enrol in this program.
This is a 6 month full-time or 1 year part-time course of study offered by the School of Accounting and Corporate Governance in the Faculty of Business.
The course involves the completion of 4 units of study. The course is the first part of a suite of courses that culminate in eligibility for professional accounting body membership. Completion of this course alone does not lead to professional accounting body membership (see Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) and Master of Professional Accounting - Specialisation (MPAS)). This is a fee paying course.
All units are subject to formal assessment including the completion of continuous assessment such as assignments, and a final examination.
Admission & Prerequisites
The Faculty of Business may accept as a candidate for the Graduate Certificate in Professional Accounting any of the following:

At the discretion of the Faculty, admission may also include an interview.
