Program overview
The two year advanced accounting diploma with a paid co-operative work term integrated, combining financial and management accounting, taxation, auditing and finance with documented industry placement.
There is a pricing anomaly worth checking here: the recorded fee for the co-op version is lower than the version without it, which is the reverse of the usual pattern. Apply Study Visa confirms the operative figures for both routes before an application is submitted, since the difference affects the recommendation directly.
