Master of Professional Accounting (Extension)

The UNSW is a great university, as an International student I would like to express the experience I had when Studying there. There are many international students who studied there, various students around the world are getting their degrees at UNSW. I like the experience as a students we met some experience people that is dealing with real life experience working in certain industry, they shared us some real life situation and how to handle those. I'd recommend students to study there as UNSW is one of the top university across Australia.

Professionalism and Availability

I think it is one of the best Italian universities in terms of work, availability, professionalism and hospitality are at the highest levels, and it offers various study paths structured in an optimal way. I recommend it to anyone who wants to take a university course.

Gone downhill in the last few years.

I did my BBus through Open Polytech (2007-2013) and was really happy, recommended them. However, in the last couple of years I had to do the Level 5 Certificate in Financial Services (Residential Property) and am now doing the Level 4 Certificate in Accounting, and wow has the standard gone downhill. There were so many errors in the Level 5 Certificate, they had not updated it with very important changes in the laws (of which I rolled out changes in my organisation, so I knew more than the tutor did!). Now I am doing a Level 4 Certificate and the standard of the information is poor, forms that don't work and vaguely worded questions that the 'tutor' refused to clarify. At least I didn't pay for it but the taxpayers (of which I am one) are still paying for it! Such a shame to see my alma mater go backwards like that.
