Graduate Diploma in Accounting
Course code/s: LGAW Albury-Wodonga
This is a fee-paying course. The Graduate Diploma in Accounting has been accredited as a conversion course by CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and it enables graduates who did not take an accounting major as part of their undergraduate degree to become professional accountants. It also allows students who have overseas qualifications in accounting or business to qualify for membership with the Australian professional accounting bodies.
Note: CPA/ICAA must deem your qualifications to be equivalent to an Australian Bachelor degree. Degree assessment is the sole responsibility of the students and must be completed before enrolment in the course.
Admission requirements
An Australian Bachelor degree or approved equivalent qualification in any discipline is required.
Applicants must apply directly to the Albury-Wodonga Campus. For further information, contact the School Executive Officer: tel: (02) 6024 9850, email: business.aw@latrobe.com.au.
