Overview

Bachelor of Business (Accountancy)

Accountancy is about providing reliable, timely and accurate information for decision makers, especially for economic decisions. 

Whether working for a multinational company, a government agency or in public practice, accountants play a pivotal role in advising senior management on the financial performance and direction of the organisation.

This degree

You will undertake a foundation year that covers all core disciplines of business, giving you a solid understanding of issues facing organisations today. From your second year, you will study advanced accountancy topics. 

The Bachelor of Business majoring in Accountancy provides you with the knowledge and experience to move into many types of business careers. 

You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you have learned in collaboration with students from other disciplines. 

Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience whilst receiving credit towards your degree.

What you will study

Topics of study include financial reporting, auditing, management accounting, and information systems in accounting. 

You will learn about financial accounting in its organisational, social and political contexts as well as study relevant law subjects (including taxation law and law of business organisations) to be eligible for associate membership of professional accounting bodies.

After completing the Bachelor of Business (Accountancy), you may enrol in a postgraduate business Master’s degree and be eligible for up to 4 subjects credit, reducing your master’s degree to 1 year

This degree trajectory means you can graduate with your bachelor’s and master’s degree in just 4 years.
