COURSE DESCRIPTION
UC’s Graduate Certificate in Accounting is designed for students who may have an overseas accounting qualification and are required to undertake 4 units (12cp) to meet the requirements of the award.
Students entering this award must have their qualifications assessed by either CPA Australia or Chartered Accountants of Australia and New Zealand to identify the unit set required to meet accreditation requirements.
Through practical, hands-on learning, our coursework is designed to produce highly competent, work-ready graduates with an in-depth discipline knowledge, with the technical skills needed to work as socially responsible accounting professionals across the private and public sectors. Through a mix of theoretical knowledge and real-world learning experiences, our goal is for you to become an agile professional with diverse employment skills which are transferable across a range of different industries.

Work Integrated Learning
