Become a Highly Employable Accountant

The Bachelor of Accounting gives you expertise in a fundamental tool of business planning and financial control. You can apply this expertise in any industry to help businesses grow and prosper.

Accountancy is a core business speciality that can open up career opportunities in Corporate Reporting, Taxation, Management and Business Communications across a variety of industries.

As well as providing a solid grounding in fundamental accounting principles, this accounting degree looks at the relationship of accounting to an entire organisation. Students look at complementary disciplines such as economics, law, management and marketing.

You can adapt your Bachelor of Accounting degree to your accounting role or take individual units to expand your CV. You will also complete Broadening Undergraduate Education (BUGE) units to develop professional skills outside of business.
