Master of Commerce and Master of Forensic Accounting and Financial Crime

Macquarie has always considered our students to be co-creators in their learning. One of the most exciting developments in our new curriculum is around your ability to study two degrees at once.

In this double degree, you will be able to combine:

• Master of Commerce: A practical and flexible course, which is designed to meet employer needs, to help you extend your business knowledge making you highly employable in a wide range of careers. Want to develop depth in a certain business discipline? You can choose one or two specialisations under this degree.
• Master of Forensic Accounting and Financial Crime: Forensic accounting is one of the most in-demand professions in accounting. This forward-looking and industry-focused degree will provide you with a specialised skillset in business acumen, communications, accounting, auditing, law, data, analytics and investigation.
