Am I a local or international student?


Need accounting knowledge to get ahead, but do not hold an appropriate undergraduate degree? Swinburne offers the chance for non-graduate students to gain a professionally recognised postgraduate accounting qualification. This course is also for those seeking a two-year program of study.

Accounting is the language of business, and skills mastered in its study are relevant to many areas of professional interest including marketing, economic forecasting, finance and engineering, among many others. Knowledge of accounting can help individuals and business organisations understand how to use money and resources to the best advantage.
