About the Graduate Diploma of Accounting

CSU’s Graduate Diploma of Accounting is designed to build upon previous non-accounting undergraduate qualifications and work experience and add conceptual depth by concentrating on studies in accounting and related disciplines. Upon completion of this degree you can gain credit towards the Master of Professional Accounting.

* Only available to Australian citizens or holders of Australian permanent humanitarian visas (who meet eligibility requirements).

Admission requirements

Applicants who do not have an undergraduate degree but have a lower level qualification (such as a two-year Advanced Diploma, an Associate Degree or a three-year diploma from China) will be considered for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Accounting. Students who successfully complete the Graduate Diploma of Accounting will gain admission to the Master of Professional Accounting and are required to complete a further 8 subjects. Please also see the CSU Study Centre English proficiency requirements.

Advanced standing

You may receive up to 50% (four 8-point subjects) worth of credit into the Graduate Diploma of Accounting program for related prior studies.
