The course is designed to provide a general education in accounting and financial management to graduates of non-accounting disciplines. Applicants are required to have an undergraduate degree from a recognised Australian tertiary institution or a qualification deemed to be equivalent. Each subject has a residential school. Students in Australia attend these schools in Wagga Wagga.
Overseas students attend in selected overseas locations.
The Graduate Certificate comprises four subjects that are included in the Master of Accountancy. Students who are admitted to the Master program receive credit for these subjects. The course is designed to allow students to decide what discipline they would like to specialise in, and thus choose their subjects to best meet that specialisation.
