The Master of Taxation course provides students with a detailed understanding
of the concepts and practical application of Australian taxation law with
particular emphasis upon the development of research and writing skills
appropriate for specialist taxation practitioners.
For normal admission, applicants must hold either a four-year pass degree in
law from a recognised university or a three-year pass degree from a
recognised university or college of advanced education and one of the
following: (a) honours in a relevant discipline*; or (b) a graduate
diploma in a relevant discipline* with a credit average; or (c) a second
degree in law.
* FOR THIS PURPOSE, A RELEVANT DISCIPLINE INCLUDES ACCOUNTING, LAW, ECONOMICS
OR FINANCE.
Applicants who hold a three-year pass degree from a recognised tertiary
institution may be admitted to the course on a conditional basis if they have
also completed the Professional Year program offered by The Institute of
Chartered Accountants in Australia; or the Certified Practising Accountant
program offered by the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants;
or the Graduate Certificate in Taxation or an equivalent program of graduate
studies in taxation from a recognised university or college of advanced
education.
Students admitted on a conditional basis will be required to complete two
additional subjects from the list of electives prior to direct entry into the
Master of Taxation.
Candidates who do not meet the above requirements may be eligible for the
Graduate Diploma in Taxation, the Graduate Certificate in Taxation or the
Executive Certificate in Taxation. With a credit average, it is possible to
articulate to the Master of Taxation through these courses.
Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of two credit exemptions for subjects
considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the course of study.
Refer to the course director for further details.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Department of
Business Law and Taxation as to the 2000 course fee. Course fees are set and
reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
The
course consists of four double-weighted subjects. Each subject includes
coursework presented in weekly seminars and a research project to be completed
by students independently. The normal workload for part-time study would be one
subject per semester and for full-time study two subjects per semester. At
least two electives will be offered each semester. Additional electives may be
offered over summer semester. Students may choose a maximum of two electives
from this or other departments within the Faculty of Business and Economics or
