Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting) - (BI9)
An additional objective for the Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting) is to extend students’ knowledge, values and skills in Commerce-related subject areas which are additional to the ‘core curriculum in accounting and business areas’ specified above. 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.
Completion of units listed previously in the MPA for first, second and third teaching periods, or equivalent, plus an additional 60 credit points selected from the list of existing accredited units within the School of Business Graduate Management graduate programs, or other approved accredited units (all units listed are of 15 credit points except where indicated). Please note this does not include BA401 Accounting and Finance or BA925 Financial Policy.
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.
Professional Recognition of the Courses
The MPA and MCom (PA) delivered at the Mt Helen Campus are accredited by Certified Practising Accountants (CPA Australia) and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICCA). Graduates of these courses can apply to either body for membership.
The MPA and MCom (PA) delivered at any of our provider locations are accredited by the National Institute of Accountants (NIA).
Credits for any of the four elective business units will only be considered where the unit claimed has at least 80% overlap of content with one of the UB MBA/MBM units offered. The unit must have been completed as part of a post graduate course in business, commerce or closely related management discipline at a University recognised as equivalent to the Australian AQF by the NOOSR schedule.
