Education and Career Forum

Hi,

I am a fellow of one of Australia's IFAC full member accounting bodies and originally qualified by doing the profesional exams of the institute and being registered as a Public Accountant. I have since studied and attained my advanced masters in accountancy at 4th/5th year level.

It is 41 years since I originally qualified and I am now retired but I have never gained my first degree. I also have a post graduate bachelor of education and master of education, have been a teaching for the past 20 years, and prior to that was a CPA and Corporations auditor in public practice.

I don't care where I get my BCom but I would like to get one with the least degree of trouble. Costs are not an issue.

To be eligible to pursue Master's degree course, you should have completed Bachelor's degree course in any discipline from a recognised university. Admissions in Master's degree course are offered through university level entrance examinations. You need t qualify the entrance examination to get admission in Master's degree. Since, you have already completed M.Ed course, you are eligible to pursue Master's degree course.

If you have been awarded qualification equivalent to a masters degree by a recognized university, then surely you will not need any graduation qualification.

Masters degree is more than a degree qualification, therefore, no need to worry about doing B.Com graduation. The degree awarded by a concerned university will be enough.

For doing Masters degree in any of the specialisation, you must have to complete your Bachelors degree in the same specialisation successfully.
Candidates those who have completed their Bachelors degree from a recognised University with a minimum of 50% of marks in it are qualified enough to opt for Masters degree courses.
