Questions from Indian students: Accounting in Australia

Is accounting a good course in Australia for Indian students?
Accounting has a skills assessment pathway and is a large employer, but graduate competition is strong. A two-year master's that meets professional body requirements, an internship and good English scores matter.
What is a Master of Professional Accounting?
A conversion master's for graduates from other fields (or with some accounting) that covers the subjects professional bodies and assessors require.
1.5 or 2 years?
The 1.5-year versions suit graduates with business study. The two-year version meets the 485 study requirement of 92 weeks more comfortably; check the CRICOS length before choosing.
How much is an accounting master's?
Charles Darwin A$38,192, Newcastle A$38,710, Tasmania A$39,450, James Cook A$40,518, Western Sydney A$41,304, Wollongong A$43,728, Flinders A$46,300, Swinburne A$50,360, RMIT A$50,880, Adelaide A$54,300, UTS A$54,590, ANU A$57,640, UQ A$60,952, UNSW A$62,000, Monash A$62,140, Sydney A$64,800 a year.
Can a B.Com graduate do it?
Yes. B.Com holders often get credit for some subjects and take a shorter version.
