Suggestions on Foreign Students Obtaining Certified Public Accountant Qualification in China

1, high school students

High school students should choose the accounting major of the corresponding university according to their own achievements and strength. Never take domestic traditional ideas with you unless you join the G-8, which is wrong. Take your actual level as a reference, choose the university that suits you best, study for three years, get an Australian green card, and seek jobs in related fields. At first, you don't have to pursue salary excessively. The key is to accumulate local work experience! After accumulating one or two years' experience, I will take the CPA qualification examination (***6 courses) or enroll in an approved master's course (the student fee of PR is quite low, which is cheaper than that of international students 1/3 or so). After completing this stage of study, I will continue to work at a higher level in this field for three years, so that I can get the title of certified public accountant. After that, you can seek a high-paying position in any country in the world and further develop. Such a gradual development, why not?

2, junior college, college students and college graduates.

The basic process is the same as that of high school students, except that some credits may be reduced or exempted.

3, accounting university graduates

You can directly apply for the qualification of assistant accountant. After obtaining the Australian green card, you can enroll in an approved master's program (the cost of holding PR for students is quite low). After completing this stage of study, you will continue to work at a higher level in this field for 3 years, and thus obtain the title of certified public accountant.

4. For students who change their majors halfway (for most people), most universities in Australia have offered master's degrees in certified public accountants, which are open to all undergraduate graduates. As long as students complete the two-year course, they can get a master's degree and pass the assistant accountant qualification examination, and get 60 points for immigration, which is a good choice.
