We believe learning should not be limited in the classroom. Through the Professional Practice Program (PPP), we provide on-the-job placement opportunities for students enrolled in the Master of Accounting (Professional Practice) and Master of Business Administration (Professional Practice) to get training and experience in a real-life workplace environment. The PPP gives employers the opportunity to work with well-trained graduates and evaluate their suitability as a future employee. If the student is eventually employed, they are already up to speed with the provider’s workplace culture, targets and relationships.
