Students who successfully complete the Graduate Diploma in Accounting may be eligible to progress to the Master of Accounting with 100 points credit.

the graduate diploma in accounting is designed to develop students’ ability to identify and discuss contemporary issues in accounting, auditing and related disciplines, as reflected in national and international regulatory pronouncements and the general and business press.

“Compared to undergraduate study, my graduate course in accounting focuses more on case studies. The assignments require deeper analysis of real business issues. I have learnt more about forecasting stock market and analysing a company’s financial report through the subjects Financial Statement Analysis and Accounting Information and Security Valuation.

I have also participated in the Global Business Practicum to Mumbai in January this year. The experience was amazing! I saw and experienced a completely different culture. The consulting project that I got to work on was insightful since it is a very ‘live’ project concerning the whole nation’s identity program.”

Practicums We offer our students a unique duo of programs which sets us apart from other Australian business schools: the Global Business Practicum (GBP) and the Melbourne Business Practicum (MBP). In teams, students are assigned to a host company to undertake a real business project, experiencing culture, society and real-life business practices first hand whilst applying their academic skills. GBP destinations include Singapore, Shanghai, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur. Organisations who have participated in the practicums include Cadbury, KPMG, Kraft, Committee for Melbourne, NAB and various not-for-profit organisations in rural and regional Australia.

InternshipsInternships are offered at a variety of organisations and industry sectors. Each internship is formulated to provide students with valuable experience, introducing challenges and opportunities faced in the working world. Depending on the needs and resources of the employing organisation, internships vary in length, are paid at least a minimum wage, and may lead to continuing work.

Volunteering

Students can apply during any time of their graduate studies for casual volunteer opportunities, which involve volunteer activity with a not-for-profit organisation. Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) such as World Vision, Brotherhood of St Laurence and the Salvation Army host volunteer programs. Employers favourably view applicants who can demonstrate contribution of their skills to socially supportive organisations. For international students, it is an excellent way to improve communication skills, interact and build networks in the Australian community.

51industry engagement

“Participating in the Global Business Practicum was a brilliant highlight of my MBS experience. I was given the opportunity to develop an understanding of how business is conducted in Asia whilst strengthening my qualitative and quantitative analysis skills. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone and allowed me to apply my academic knowledge to the business world.”

“Knowing that Australian employers are looking for all-rounders, I strived to balance my academic studies with extra-curricular activities, such as piano and student clubs. The University also has strong relationships with employers. Together with the Careers Centre, this makes it easier for us graduates to seek employment”

Kenneth Lew (Australia)

“My exchange to Bergen was by far one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I’ve ever had. Along with the opportunities to travel whilst abroad, experiencing university life in another country and meeting students from all around the world was truly an invaluable and rewarding experience. It has not only given me a newfound independence, but has also provided me with a lifetime of memories and friends. Of course, the international exposure has also developed my cross-cultural communication skills, which enhances my employability in today’s increasingly diverse workplace.”

kenneth is a master of management (marketing) student who went on exchange to nhh, the norwegian school of economics, norway

Simon Sun (Australia)

“University life is so much more than attending lectures, doing your assignments and passing exams. Join as many clubs and get involved in as many activities as you possibly can. At the end of the day you will find that not only will these extracurricular activities enrich your learning experience and your social life, it also presents a more rounded application to employers, maximizing your employment opportunities.”

simon is a master of management (finance) student. he has participated in extra-curricular activities such as the graduate ambassador team, the strategy presentation challenge, the mbs buddy program and is a member of the graduate consulting club (gcg).
