Study a Master of Professional Accounting at UC and you will:

• develop an advanced and integrated understanding of accounting and the related disciplines required to practice as an accountant
• be able to perform high-level accounting and financial transactions and navigate in an increasingly complex legal, economic and global business environment
• be able to analyse, synthesise and interpret complex financial information, problems, concepts and theories
• be able to make ethical, socially responsible and sustainable business decisions whilst demonstrating a high level of personal autonomy and accountability.

The course presents students with a range of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities, including real-world research projects, case studies, actual industry briefs and more. You’ll develop work-ready technical accountancy skills and will be confident using a range of industry-standard accounting packages.
