Description

The Master of Accounting / Master of Business Administration combines the requirements and aims of both masters degrees. Students without an undergraduate degree or specialisation in accounting gain the opportunity to study postgraduate accounting. The skills acquired are relevant to many business areas including marketing, economics, finance, human resource management and information systems. The program is designed to provide students with skills and competencies necessary to pursue a career in accounting. It has been designed to meet the entry requirements of the professional accounting bodies, CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

The Master of Business Administration is designed to provide the basic building blocks needed to become an effective manager in a variety of organisational settings. It is a broad-based, postgraduate degree rather than a technical qualification required for a particular job or vocation. The goal of the program is to provide students with the foundations in content and competencies that will support their development as effective managers in a variety of organisational settings and roles.
