About the course
This double masters program combines accounting and finance to build core expertise for financial decision-making in business. You study courses from both disciplines each semester so capabilities develop in parallel. Graduates complete a single two-year award and finish with two qualifications: the Master of Applied Accounting and the Master of Financial Management, supporting broader career flexibility across accounting and finance roles.
What you might learn
The program develops practical competence in financial reporting, management and corporate accounting, commercial law, and contemporary data analytics, alongside foundations in corporate finance and investments. It also builds quantitative capability through statistics and regression modelling. By integrating accounting and finance units across the degree, students strengthen analytical judgement for business decisions, risk assessment, and evidence-based performance evaluation in professional settings.
Career outcome
Graduates can pursue roles across accounting and finance in corporations, consulting, government and the financial services sector. Typical pathways include financial accountant, management accountant, financial analyst, corporate finance analyst, investment or portfolio support roles, and reporting/assurance-related positions. The combined skill set supports work involving financial statement analysis, budgeting and performance management, valuation and investment decision support, and data-informed finance and accounting functions.
Entry requirements
Applicants must meet ANU program-specific and English language requirements and are selected competitively. Entry typically requires a bachelor degree (or equivalent) in a cognate discipline with a minimum GPA of 5/7. Alternative pathways include a bachelor degree plus graduate certificate (GPA 4/7), a graduate diploma (GPA 4/7), or at least 10 years full-time equivalent relevant work experience at ANZSCO Skill Level 1.
