Location: North Terrace Campus
Duration: 2 years (full-time or part-time? equivalent)
Degree/Award: Masters by Coursework

Program Outline

The Master of Accounting and Marketing provides comprehensive studies across the related fields of accounting and marketing. It is designed to meet the needs of entrants from either a relevant degree seeking in-depth advancement in their field and an associated field, or from a non-relevant degree seeking to comprehensively adapt to the new fields of accounting and marketing.

While the program includes study in both fields, students choose to specialise in one area. For students choosing the Accounting specialisation as their primary discipline, the program aims to develop them for a professional accounting career with accreditation to proceed to the professional programs of CPA Australia. For students choosing the advanced Marketing specialisation, the program aims to develop them for a professional marketing career by providing the educational grounding and partial credit towards the Certified Practicing Marketer (CPM) status awarded by the Australian Marketing Institute (AMI). 

Program Structure

Students complete core courses which include four foundation courses, five marketing courses and five accounting courses. The remaining two courses will be either marketing or accounting courses, depending on the student's main specialisation.
