Todd McCashin

Master of Professional Accounting

Convenient length, convenient location

I chose Victoria for its professional reputation—and because it was the closest university to Nelson, where I live. The MPA programme could be completed in 16 months, which is faster than comparable courses. I was able to commute to Wellington for four days a week for lectures and return home for three days.

I enjoyed Wellington because of the closeness to everything. It’s great being able to walk almost everywhere and, when you need it, there is the best public transport system in New Zealand.

Smart business decisions

I have managed, or owned, many businesses over the years. Although the MBA is a popular choice for many, I am a fan of the numbers side of business. Accounting is the key language that not only conveys the success or failure of a business, but also is used in the decision-making process. I am interested in the way businesses implement accounting and finance concepts to manage their internal performance, enhance decision making and provide external reporting.

The programme has given me the knowledge and skills to implement systems and, more importantly, the understanding to be able to justify why certain options are better than others.

The Finance and Law courses were my favourites. Finance, because of the practical application of the course in making investment decisions, and Law because it is almost essential for anyone in business to know contract law and corporation liabilities. 

For the PGDip and PGCert please add the following in to the 'How to apply' block. This means that for these two qualifications on this one section will have content (no Programme contacts, no Costs, no Start studying)

"You can’t enrol in this programme. It’s an early-exit qualification for candidates who have enrolled in the MPA but choose not to complete it."

The current How to apply contant (see below) will now only apply to the MPA

"Apply using the Online Enrolment System.

You'll need:

• your certified academic transcript (if you didn't do your undergraduate degree at Victoria)
• a short CV showing your experience in accounting, business or finance.

Make sure you enrol as early as possible—our courses are popular and fill up fast."

In the Programmes bulleted list, don't list programmes you can't enrol in (See Suppress cards below)

Photo missing for Pilgrim Morales - could you please try using a still from the Video. It is quite hard to find a good one but around 1:19 there might be a moment of rest in his face.
