Now, even if you don’t have an accounting degree there is a pathway to a master’s degree in the field and membership of professional accounting body CPA Australia, giving you a competitive advantage.
Lincoln University’s new Pathway Certificate for MPA Entry provides people from a non-accounting background with the necessary accounting knowledge, skills and competencies to enrol in the Master of Professional Accounting (CPA) and CPA Australia’s CPA Program®.
Lincoln is the first and only Registered Tuition Provider to offer a CPA (Certified Practising Accountant) Australia Approved Integrated Course in New Zealand.
A Scholarship is also available for the master’s degree.
The Certificate is a one semester course, so when combined with the three semester Master of Professional Accounting (CPA), in just two years you could be starting a new career in accounting and business.
You can complete your master’s degree at Lincoln University or by online distance learning, from anywhere in the world.
So, if you are looking for a change in direction, it all adds up to a great option.
