A double degree is required to meet the requirements of each degree studied with a maximum of 50% exemptions for each program studied individually. This double degree meets the requirements of the 12 unit Master of Business Administration and the Master of Professional Accounting. The two programs together require the completion of 24 units, including the possibility of 12 units of exemptions with up to six units of exemptions from each program. The structure of this double degree, Master of Business Administration and Master of Professional Accounting, has been designed to include the cross allocation of eight units of exemptions leaving students the possibility of a further four units of exemptions. In order for an exemption to be granted, the claim must meet the following specific requirements: the course passed was taken at least at Masters or equivalent level. the course was passed within five years prior to the application (courses up to 10 years old may be considered if evidence is provided that the applicant has been employed in that field). the course passed is equivalent in objectives, content and weightings to a course prescribed in the program course, or alternatively, the course is suitable as an elective. where the student has taken out an award from a recognised tertiary institution and is claiming exemptions on the basis of courses completed to meet the requirements of that program, the maximum exemptions on the basis of such courses shall be one-half of the total courses for the program. exemptions approved in this program will not automatically apply to other programs offered by the USQ. Note: Where exemptions are granted, maximum and minimum duration will be adjusted in the same proportion as the exemptions, for example, where the maximum of 50 per cent exemptions is granted, maximum and minimum duration will be reduced by one-half.
