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 Faculty of Business
and Economics as to the 2002 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 off-campus mode
of study 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 units:
This program may be varied by arrangement with the course director.
