Program Overview

Two Masters in Two Years

This two year packaged degree allows you to complete two master programs in just two years, instead of what would normally take three years to complete separately. Initially, you will complete your first Master’s program for the duration of one and a half years. You will then receive six subjects (36 credit points) credit into your second Master’s program, allowing you to complete your second Master’s in two additional trimesters.

If you hold a bachelor’s degree in a Business or Commerce related area, you may be granted credit into your Master’s program to further shorten the duration and complete two Master’s in under two years.

Master of Professional Accounting

The Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) is designed for students who want to advance their career in the accounting profession. The learning experience and knowledge areas for this program are focused on the practice of accounting.

The course first introduces the fundamental principles of accounting, economics and aspects of the economic system and then proceeds to the study of specific knowledge areas which are vital for accounting professionals.

You will develop knowledge and skills to apply accounting principles in the preparation and interpretation of financial statements. Equipped with an understanding of accounting principles, taxation law and the tax implications of business activities, you will also undertake research into current accounting issues.

Additionally, this degree provides the opportunity to network with your peers, members of the local business community and alumni with a number of social and semi-formal events.

Master of Marketing

The Master of Marketing explores the motives of consumers during the purchase of products and services and how to use this research to make more effective marketing decisions.

Leading marketing academics will teach you how to identify customers to develop a competitive advantage by effectively positioning products in the market. Using promotional tools, you will learn to create and enhance a brand’s equity.

This master’s degree will ultimately enable you to develop and demonstrate specialised knowledge and skills in marketing, a field increasingly important for all types of organisations from commercial operations to the non-profit sector. You will have the opportunity to study a wide range of advanced topics in marketing and gain professionally oriented generalist and specialist marketing skills.

Throughout the degree, you will be supported by our dedicated student support services built around your individual needs. Our student advisors, academic staff and careers consultant are available each week for advice and guidance.
