Murdoch University Graduate (2021)
I have always aimed to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and when I was researching for a good university to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree, I came across Murdoch University that offers direct entry into the CPA Australia programme. Additionally, I managed to graduate with my Degree in 16 months due to exemptions obtained from my Diploma.
Being able to choose the modules and respective classes to take gave me a great deal of flexibility and allowed me to manage my time between work and school well, given that I worked full-time while studying part-time.
Upon attaining my Degree, I switched to a new job as a Tax Associate in one of the big four accounting firms.
The lecturers are extremely knowledgeable and approachable. They go out of their way to help students who have difficulty understanding certain topics, and are friendly and helpful. I was able to approach my lecturers without any hesitation with queries regarding my studies. Despite the sudden switch to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were able to deliver the lessons in a very articulate manner.
I would recommend Murdoch to others as I learnt so much with the University, mainly because of the lecturers. Every class conducted was interactive, very thought-provoking and did not leave you merely memorising stuff, which I felt contributed strongly to academic excellence.

Murdoch University Student (2019)
I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a Diploma in Accountancy. After working for a couple of years in an accounting consultancy firm, my brother who was a student in Kaplan encouraged me to further my studies and to attend the preview sessions to find out more.
I was overwhelmed by the number of universities and programmes offered by Kaplan. Finally, I chose Murdoch University to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree. I was impressed by the number of professional accreditations, and recognition the Accounting Bachelor’s Degrees have.
They are accredited by ACCA with exemptions for up to 9 exams (3 Applied Knowledge and 6 Applied Skills exams), an associate member of the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) and is also accredited by CPA Australia that allows direct entry to CPA programmes.
The modules are practical and industry-relevant. One of the modules, ‘Technology and Accounting Processes’ teaches us how to use an accounting software, QuickBooks. It facilitates our understanding of the computerised accounting process.
Accounting modules can be difficult to understand. However, the lecturers simplify the concepts to make it easier for us to comprehend.
