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
study. Refer to the course director for further details.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Faculty of Business
and Economics as to the 2001 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed
annually and are therefore subject to change.
Completion of the Graduate Diploma of Accounting will enable graduates to meet
the academic requirements for admission to the CPA Australia program and the
Professional Year program of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
It
is expected that those wishing to undertake such a course will be in employment
and will undertake the course outside normal working hours. The distance
education mode is particularly appropriate for such people, and the work
experience of students will enable them to understand the concepts more
rapidly.
The course consists of the following 12 core subjects:
This program may be varied by arrangement with the course director.
