COURSE CURRICULUM

To qualify for the Master of Professional Accounting at UNE, candidates must complete units to the value of 96 credit points, including a minimum of 36 credit points at 500-level. The course structure is designed to meet the entry requirements of both Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) and CPA Australia through the completion of core units, ensuring graduates are eligible for professional recognition. Candidates admitted under Rule A follow a pathway that includes advanced standing where applicable and core units essential to the accounting discipline. Rule B candidates similarly complete advanced standing and core units based on prior qualifications or experience. Rule C candidates, which may include those with different academic backgrounds, complete core units along with listed units to ensure they acquire the necessary breadth and depth of knowledge in accounting. The structure allows for flexibility in study, with options for online or on-campus learning, while maintaining alignment with professional accreditation requirements. Detailed information on course plans, exit awards, intensive schools, and work placement requirements is available in the UNE Handbook, which guides students through the full program of study. This structured approach ensures that graduates develop the technical, analytical, and professional skills required for a successful career in accounting while meeting industry standards and accreditation requirements.
