Why study Bachelor of Accounting?

The Bachelor of Accounting is a specialised accounting degree aimed at high-achieving year 12 students. You will undertake accelerated study, offering a combination of accounting theory and industry experience.

Our degree offers core units that introduce you to the key areas of accounting and meet the requirements of the three professional accounting bodies in Australia. You will also do six open electives, which you can tailor into a finance major if you choose.

A highlight of this degree is two separate industry placements, of 14 and 12 weeks respectively, during your second and third years of study. This gives you a great opportunity to do six months of work experience in a corporate setting. The industry sponsors that provide your scholarships play an important role in these placements.

ACCOUNTING

Accounting is the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of financial transactions. It can be done on a large scale - for international corporations - or for individuals or for any sized business in-between. There are agreed national and international rules and regulations that govern the work of accountants. Accounting allows a company to analyse its financial performance, and report important statistics such as profit and loss to managers and shareholders.
