Nested Qualifications
Kaplan Business School’s Master’s Degrees feature nested qualifications, which are seamless progression from one qualification to the next but allow students to exit after a specified number of units with a fully recognised qualification. For example, students can exit out of the Master of Accounting or Master of Professional Accounting after completing 4 compulsory subjects, and receive a recognised Graduate Certificate in Accounting.

Nested qualifications maintain flexibility for students so they can achieve an ideal work, study or life balance and to cater for increasing industry and business demand.

Teaching method
Kaplan Business School has smaller tutorial and lecture class sizes, allowing a more individually focussed approach to a student’s education. In reverence to this, they also offer individual tuition and academic advice regarding the course. Beyond the classroom, they offer guidance and advice with university pathway programs and career options.

Each campus has modern facilities and incorporates easily accessible IT resources to keep their pedagogy current and up-to-date with evolving industry standards.

Accreditation
Kaplan Business School holds articulation and exemption agreements with some leading institutions in Australia.

Students who successfully complete an accounting course can be exempt from subjects within some professional bodies. These include:


 * CPA Australia
 * Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAA)
 * The Institute of Public Accountants (IPAA)
