Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting
RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting is an exit award available to students enrolled in RMIT's Master of Professional Accounting (MC194). It is separate from RMIT's standalone Graduate Certificate in Professional Accounting (program code GC119), which is its own program with its own marketing page and CRICOS code. RMIT does not publish a standalone page or application pathway for the Graduate Diploma level. RMIT's own Master of Professional Accounting page lists a Graduate Diploma (AQF level 8) tier worth 96 credit points in its Australian Qualifications Framework credit table, consistent with roughly one year of full-time study, the same duration confirmed for this award on the CRICOS register.
