Valuable skill set
You'll study the conceptual basis and principles of accounting practice, the impact of the business environment on accounting theory and its application, and regulatory requirements controlling the accounting process. You'll also learn to understand and apply principles and analytical techniques from economics, commercial law, business communications and quantitative methods in the accounting context.
Flexible study options
Online study is a time-efficient way to complete a postgraduate course with minimal impact on your professional and personal commitments. You'll learn using learning techniques that include online study materials, video-captured lectures, online meetings and subject forums. You can also fast-track your degree by completing up to four subjects in a session.
