It is designed for students who do not already hold a formal accounting qualification and who want a professional accounting qualification on top of existing tertiary study. A full-time load is 120 credit points a year, usually four 15-credit units per semester. What the fee covers: an international full fee-paying place — the 2026 indicative full-time fee for 1 EFTSL (120 credit points). Fee year: 2026. English requirement as published: IELTS 6.0 overall, no individual sub-score below 6.0 (or equivalent). Before you budget: the page's International tab states 'International full fee-paying place — 2026 indicative full-time fee: $39,600'. This is the cheapest Federation course listed here, and the lower figure is confirmed rather than assumed.
