Accounting is the art and science of measuring, interpreting and communicating financial information.
At Otago, we have a range of interesting and challenging study options in accountancy – and as accountancy is a professional course, you’ll have the opportunity to join one of New Zealand’s professional accountancy bodies.
The MCom is a 120-point thesis-only degree. Admission requires a student to be a graduate, normally with a bachelor’s degree and an Honours or Postgraduate Diploma (or equivalent qualification) in the subject, or a related subject, of study proposed. Minimum full-time duration is one year.
The degree is an entry qualification for Doctoral level study (PhD or DBA).
