The Graduate Diploma in Accounting is designed as a 'conversion course' for
students with a degree in a field other than accounting who wish to obtain a
sound introduction to accounting concepts and procedures.
Applicants require a pass degree in a non-accounting discipline or an
equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution, or an
executive certificate from this faculty with an average grade of credit or
above. Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of six credit exemptions for
subjects considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the course of
