Overview

Accounting focuses on supplying dependable, timely, and precise information for decision-makers, particularly in economic matters. Accountants play a vital role, whether in multinational corporations, government agencies, or public practice, as they advise senior management on matters of organisational financial performance and direction.

During the Bachelor of Professional Accounting, you will undertake a foundation year that covers all core disciplines of business, while during the second year you will study subjects in the field of professional accounting . These include financial reporting, auditing, management accounting, and information systems in accounting.

See the course handbook for more information.

The final-year capstone subject allows you to 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.

After completing the Bachelor of Professional Accounting, you may enrol in a master’s degree and be eligible for up to four subjects' credit, reducing your master’s degree to one year. This means you can graduate with your bachelor’s and master’s degree in just four years.

The Faculty of Business and Law is a signatory to the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), a global initiative of the United Nations, equipping you to make ethical business decisions throughout your career.
