The Master of Professional Accounting *Global Leadership Program offers students two professionally recognised master degrees in two years from two high-ranking institutions: a Master of Professional Accounting from Swinburne and a Master of Science in Leadership from Northeastern University in Boston, USA. The program is delivered in Melbourne via a combination of face-to-face and online delivery modes. Students also have the opportunity to undertake part of the program at Northeastern, subject to application and visa requirements. The accounting component provides students with the technical, practical, analytical and creative skills required to deal effectively with accounting and finance issues in planning and decision-making. The leadership component is designed to assist today’s leaders and prepare emerging leaders to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex and diverse workforce, and is taught by Northeastern academics.

This master program provides an avenue for graduates to achieve professional recognition and help fill the shortage of professionally recognised accountants. As many candidates may already be established in a business career, the key vocational outcomes will arise from better current job performance together with new opportunities opening in the accounting and finance areas. This program also provides the opportunity for international and Australian graduates to position themselves for employment in international labour markets.
