Master of Accounting and Marketing

The Master of Accounting and Marketing at Flinders University offers an interdisciplinary approach, providing students with advanced expertise in both accounting and marketing within an Australian business context. This two-year postgraduate degree is structured over four semesters, typically requiring the completion of a specific number of units of study to accrue credit points as set by Flinders University. The curriculum includes core and elective units spanning topics in financial reporting, management accounting, auditing, consumer behaviour, market research, and strategic marketing management.

Throughout the program, students gain technical knowledge in accounting standards, analysis, and regulatory frameworks, alongside the creative and strategic skills essential for effective marketing. Many units of study integrate contemporary Australian case studies and invite engagement with local industry partners, enhancing understanding of how accounting and marketing operate across Australia's unique regulatory and consumer landscape. Where relevant, work-integrated learning opportunities or professional placements are available, allowing students to apply theoretical concepts in real business environments.

The degree culminates in a capstone project or similar integrative unit, where students synthesize accounting and marketing knowledge to develop solutions to complex business challenges. Graduates are equipped with high-level communication, analytical, and digital proficiency, as well as the capacity to critically evaluate data for decision-making in the Australian and global marketplace. This course suits recent graduates, career changers, or those seeking leadership roles in the expanding intersection of accounting and marketing. Students on a student visa are granted work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and may be eligible for post-study work arrangements such as the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).

Flinders University engages in industry collaboration, offering opportunities for networking and career development within the vibrant Adelaide business community and beyond.
