The Graduate Certificate in Accounting provides a general understanding of the basic elements of accounting and related areas of study. It is designed for students without a strong undergraduate background in accounting who need to acquire or update some of the key basic building blocks before proceeding to advanced level subjects in a Master's program. The Graduate Certificate is also appropriate for students who have no undergraduate degree but extensive practical experience, and who can use the program to prove their ability to undertake postgraduate study.

The Master of Business in Accounting provides advanced level study in a range of contemporary accounting issues. The combination of core subjects and electives is designed to offer the student the flexibility of specialising in either financial or management accounting, or a combination of both.

The Master of Business in Accounting (C04037) is not recognised by CPA Australia as meeting the membership entry requirements for applicants who do not have a recognised undergraduate degree. Such applicants should enrol in the MBA (Professional Accounting major). However, applicants with a recognised undergraduate degree can include CPA Australia accredited postgraduate subjects in their Master of Business in Accounting program in order to meet the accounting studies requirements for CPA Australia membership. It is recommended that applicants obtain an assessment from CPA Australia of the subjects they are required to complete before enrolling in their program and then discuss this assessment with the Course Coordinator.
