Graduate Certificate in Business (Professional Accounting)

This course is designed for graduates who do not have an undergraduate degree in accountancy and wish to obtain a professional accountancy qualification.

If you are looking to change your career direction or enhance your career options, accountancy is a dynamic profession that will provide you with a sustainable, challenging and diverse range of career paths.

Professional accountants are in demand nationally and internationally by organisations throughout the commercial, public and not-for-profit sectors.

Accountants can work in commerce and industry, in public or chartered accounting firms, in government organisations or as individual practitioners.

Accountancy professionals are concerned with the provision, analysis and communication of information to assist resource allocation decisions and compliance.

Activities may include financial and operational analysis and projection, application and interpretation of accounting standards, and recording and summarising of transactions and other economic events.

The Graduate Certificate in Business provides you with a pathway to QUT’s Master of Business (Professional Accounting).
