Why study professional accounting?

RMIT's Master of Professional Accounting is designed primarily for students from non-accounting backgrounds who want to develop an understanding of the technical and social dimensions in accounting and business.

Improve your skills

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand have helped design RMIT’s postgraduate professional accounting programs to ensure we’re in-step with the future needs of professional bodies and employers.

Broaden your career choices

The MPA provides a broad-based accounting and business qualification for a career in many industries and sectors. It is designed for graduates from any discipline who are considering a career in accounting for the first time, providing many opportunities for industry-based, practical learning.

Network with like-minded professionals

If you are currently in a role that demands accounting knowledge, we’ll get you up to speed with the latest industry practices and standards. If you’re thinking of stepping out on your own, the Business Skills for Start Ups elective will help you put your best foot forward.

What you will study

This program combines core and elective studies in accounting, plus the opportunity for short-term study overseas. So while you discuss how international accounting standards apply to a range of industries with world experts, you’re earning academic credit. 

Students can complete the RMIT Master of Professional Accounting through two years of full-time study - even less time if you are a business graduate.  And while you’re earning your degree, you will also be working your way to associate membership of CPA Australia.

Develop an understanding of:

  • the technical and social dimensions of accounting and business
  • professional and cross-cultural skills required in global work places
  • the expectations facing accounting professionals through projects with industry and community based organisations
  • the importance of management accounting to effective decision-making through a major team project
