Overview

Bachelor of Commerce - Accounting

In Macquarie’s Bachelor of Commerce, you’ll study extensive and integrated foundation units that will orient you to commerce and business.

Accounting – often called the language of business – enjoys a critical role within today’s business organisations. 

Understanding this language means accountants are privileged to be critical contributors to a business’s success. 

Armed with such skills, accountants can apply their knowledge in any industry.

The Accounting major – developed in consultation with industry experts – will provide you with the skills and knowledge you’ll need for a successful career as an accountant. 

You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of essential business functions and strategies. 

You’ll develop an awareness of contemporary issues in accounting and the skills needed to appraise and devise solutions to complex accounting problems critically. 

Key features

  • Undertake professional experiences with leading industry partners (Complete a virtual internship in the first year, an employability unit in the second year and a work-integrated opportunity in the third year.)
  • Combine your learning with practical and professional experience (Participate in PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) to gain relevant workplace experience with various accounting firms.)
