Accounting is at the centre of business and finance - from tracking the flow of money to analysing financial activities. The skills you develop through the Bachelor of Accounting are fundamental to making strategic business decisions and helping people stay in control of their money.

This degree comprises a set of core units in accounting, auditing, information systems, economics, finance, business, statistics, and law. In addition to the core, there are optional majors in Advanced Accounting, Agribusiness, Finance, or Managing Organisations and People.

As an alternative to these majors, the Bachelor of Accounting allows you to choose elective units from other disciplines across the University. You might choose a set of units that will equip you for a career in a particular industry. If your aim is to become an accountant:

in the film industry, choose screen or media studies units;

in forensic accounting, accounting systems design, or auditing IT systems, choose from the computer science suite of units;

with broader business skills, you can undertake management, marketing, human resource management or other units of your choice.

The Bachelor of Accounting gives you the flexibility to take your accounting qualification in the specific direction you choose.
