1.5 years. What's the difference between two years with a master's degree in Australia?

The 1.5-year and 2-year schooling systems of the same major are generally mainly these two differences:

1. Undergraduate students in related majors can be exempted from basic courses for half a year. In this case, the two-year course is the basic course in the first half of the year, and the second half is the same as the 1.5-year course.

For example, the Master of Commerce (MCOM) of professional accounting in the University of Queensland requires two years for undergraduate non-accounting majors, and can apply for undergraduate accounting majors in 1.5 years, and the basic courses are exempted in the first half of the year.

Two. On the basis of 1.5-year system, half-year courses have been added to deepen learning. In this case, two-year courses usually take the word expansion, and advanced courses in the second half of the year are added. The courses in the first half of the year are the same as those in the 1.5 system.

For example, the Master of Professional Accounting of the University of New South Wales (1.5 years) and the Master of Professional Accounting (extended) (2 years).

In addition, 1.5-year and 2-year courses can meet the needs of different students. If students intend to emigrate, they must apply for a two-year course, because after the two-year course, they can apply for a two-year temporary postgraduate visa to find a job. If the budget is limited and you plan to go back to work after graduation, you can choose the course of 1.5 years.
