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 2003 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 Associate membership status with CPA Australia
and satisfies the entry into the CA 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.
