What you will study

Our Program is for students who have qualifications in an area other than accounting. You will gain knowledge of accounting concepts that are transferrable to organisations of all sizes. This includes organisations that are in the public, private or not-for-profit sectors.

There is an increasing integration and interdependence of the global economy. An understanding of the principles of International Business will complement studies in Professional Accounting. These principles include cross-cultural management and global business management. This will allow graduates to position themselves for senior management roles in global firms.
