Am I a local or international student?


Need accounting knowledge to get ahead, but didn't study accounting at undergraduate level? Swinburne offers the chance for non-accounting graduates to gain a professionally recognised postgraduate accounting qualification.

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 their best advantage.
