Notes:	Students commence the program by undertaking the compulsory 13 subjects of the Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting over 4 trimesters (1.5 years).

At the end of the 3rd trimester of the Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting students formally apply to CPA Australia with all their relevant educational qualifications and an application fee of approximately AU$300 for an assessment of their previous degree and current postgraduate study. This process can take 1-3 months. With confirmation that their previous study is recognised by CPA Australia, students complete the final trimester of the Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting, and then enrol in the first three CPA external units (1 core and 2 electives) and enrol in the corresponding 3 CPA support subjects at Macquarie University.
