Course Outline
The Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting) is designed to extend students' knowledge, values and skills in Commerce-related subject areas which are additional to the 'core curriculum in accounting and business areas'. As such, it is expected that this course will appeal to students wishing to undertake a more extensive program of study (that is, two years of full-time study or equivalent) than is offered in the 18 month MPA program.

Course Objective
The primary objective of these courses is to enable students whose first degree is in a non-accounting field to undertake a professional career in accounting (and/or related fields, such as finance). This course is recognised by National Institute of Acountants (NIA) in Australia.

Course Structure
Areas of study include the MPA curriculum plus 4 additional units at post graduate level.
