Program structure
Accountancy is a vibrant, challenging profession and it takes special people with a sharp mind and an eye for detail to succeed. Where would we be without accountants? After all, every business, government department, not-for-profit organisation and sporting and social club relies on someone with accounting skills to make sure they're running properly.
A good accountant plays a key role in ensuring the financial viability of organisations as small as your local surf club and as large as Australia’s biggest corporations.
This program will provide you with the technical and conceptual skills required to become a competent accountant by teaching you appropriate managerial functions, skills and methods which will give you an appreciation of the social, political and economic contexts within which decision making occurs.
You'll develop your abilities to analyse, criticise and synthesise various accounting and related principles, methods and techniques. After three years you will have the attributes that business professionals and managers need to succeed in modern commercial, government, social and voluntary organisations.
Year 1 you will complete the commerce core courses.
Year 2 and 3 you'll complete courses for the accounting major and supplement your studies with a choice of:
- an overseas internship or exchange
- an industry placement (work-integrated learning)
- an additional area of specialised study, or minor
- specialisations offered from other areas of the University
