Graduate Diploma of Accounting

About this program
The Graduate Diploma of Accounting gives graduates from other disciplines a fast, one-year entry point into professional accounting, covering financial and managerial accounting, business statistics, economics, accounting information systems and business and company law. It is positioned as a broad grounding in how accountancy fits into the wider business picture rather than a narrow technical qualification, and provides a pathway into further study such as MIT's own Master of Professional Accounting.
Delivered over 2 trimesters full-time from the Melbourne and Sydney campuses, with three intakes a year.
