ONLINE EDUCATION

Master of Commerce (12 subjects)

The twelve subject (96 point) Master of Commerce consists of subjects chosen from the pool of approved MCom subjects. Students may elect to tailor their degree to specific discipline areas by completing one or more of the designated specialisations, or may elect to study any twelve subjects from across the program.

Subjects that are counted towards one specialisation may not be counted again towards another. Students must contact the Course Director to receive approval for an alternate subject.

Students who complete one or more of the designated specialisations will graduate with the specialisation names on their testamur.

Master of Commerce (16 subjects)

The 128 point Master course consists of sixteen subjects. This extended version of the MCom is targeted at international students who may have completed a tertiary qualification which is not recognised as equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree. These students may be admitted to the Graduate Diploma of Commerce on the basis of a combination of prior qualifications and work experience.  On completion of the Graduate Diploma in Commerce students can transfer to the Master of Commerce (16 subjects) program with credit for all subjects successfully completed

The course structure for the 16 subject MCom is similar to the structure listed for the 12 subject MCom.

Students who complete one or more of the designated specialisations will graduate with the Specialisation names on their testamur.

Graduate Diploma of Commerce (8 subjects)
