The flexible course allows you to complete either one or two majors (see list below) and select from a wide range of units, allowing you to focus on the direction of your studies or keep your options open. 

If you choose only one major, you need to choose a further 8 units, which can be chosen from any discipline across the university to broaden your learning experience truly.

Completing the Accounting major plus four additional units will qualify you for admission to the major professional accounting bodies (CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants ANZ and the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA)). 

Choose this option if you want to qualify as an accountant and have a broad set of business skills. 

You can also choose to specialise in accounting with a Bachelor of Accounting.

The Human Resource Management Major is accredited by the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI).
