Overview

About the program

It is now an opportune time for the master of Accounting Sciences (Financial Accounting) at University of South Africa (UNISA), through its teaching and learning, research and community engagement practices, to improve its standing, position and credibility in accounting sciences nationally and on the continent.

The College is clear on its responsibility and role in supporting sustainable economic growth and development in the country. Its distinctive focus is on advancing accounting education and delivering sought-after graduates who can enter the various accounting professions, thus helping to address the nation’s systemic skills shortage.

The College also plays a particularly important role in advancing transformation through its strong contribution of Black African accounting professionals, thereby contributing to change the face of business leadership in South Africa.

At present the College enrols, on average, 40% of all accounting students in South Africa and contributes at least 20% of the accounting graduates. More than half of all Black African chartered accountants in South Africa are Unisa graduates.
