Master of Professional Accounting (BH9)
The Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) course may be completed in three semesters of full-time study (or the equivalent part time) and provides a comprehensive sequence of study in accounting, as well as introducing students to related subject areas such as business law, financial management, economics and quantitative methods for business. The course consists of twelve units of study, representing a total of 180 credit points.
The primary objective of this course is to enable students with a first degree in a non-accounting field to undertake a professional career in accounting (and/or related fields, such as finance).

Exit points after one semester of full-time study (Graduate Certificate of Commerce) or two semesters of full-time study (Graduate Diploma of Commerce) will be available. A two year Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting) is also available (see over).
Candidates must have a bachelors degree in a discipline other than accounting. For overseas students the degree must be recognised as equivalent to an Australian degree by the NOOSR standards.
Credits for any of the above units will only be considered for units with an 80% overlap in content successfully completed at an Australian University as part of a CPA accredited Masters of Professional Accounting degree or equivalent.
