Course overview
The professional practice MPA provides you with a unique opportunity to work in an organization and gain valuable professional experience while also gaining an MPA qualification. The course will equip you with contemporary knowledge and skills required for professional practice as a certified practicing accountant (CPA) or chartered accountant (CA). The course will provide you the technical and conceptual skills required in a competent accountant, and will develop your ability to explore, analyze and synthesize various accounting and related principles, methods and techniques. You will undertake a piece of research in your capstone unit of study that incorporates accounting theory and contemporary issues. You can choose to undertake a professional placement, applied research specialization or to choose electives that support your career objectives. For your professional practice component CDU provides training specific to working effectively in an organization. You are then provided with a placement opportunity to work in an organization of approximately 300 hours over a period of eight to ten weeks. If you wish you may also organize your own placement with a suitable organization. The placement occurs in the last semester of study and provides you with an opportunity to apply the knowledge you have gained during your MPA studies.
