Graduate Diploma in Accounting


Course code: 0748 + Course abbreviation: GradDipAcc + Course director: Mr Lawrence Webb + Evening classes offered at Caulfield campus + Normally completed in six semesters of part-time study
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 units considered to be equivalent to particular units in the course of study. Credit is restricted to study completed in the last five years. Refer to the course director for further details.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Department of Accounting and Finance as to the 2002 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
Completion of the Graduate Diploma in 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.
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Diploma in Accounting may apply for admission to the Master of Practising Accounting.
