Bachelor of Commerce - Accounting

Accounting prepares you for a career across borders. Acknowledged as ?the language of business?, accounting is spoken by all organisations ? big and small ? including government agencies and departments, and all not-for-profit institutions around the globe. A major in Accounting will offer you a variety of career paths in the private and public sector, public accounting firms, small business and self-employment.

Accounting is essential for monitoring and guiding business operations to enable managers to gain an accurate and up-to-date picture of the financial health of their organisations.

Our Accounting major focuses on the preparation, interpretation and communication of accounting information that is essential for effective decision making within an organisation. You can choose to undertake focused study in financial or management accounting, or complete a more generalised program of study covering a range of accounting subjects in greater depth.

Get practical
Accounting students build practical, industry based experience through units that involve workshops, team exercises and group projects. For example, auditing students will work on a case study with senior staff members from Ernst and Young who lead training in the classroom based on current examples.
