Bachelor of Business - Accounting (097601F)

Whether you aim to build your career in small, medium or large enterprises, or launch a business of your own, you must learn to identify opportunities, rise to challenges and adapt to change. Our Bachelor of Business is uniquely positioned to help you do this. Our hands-on teaching and mentoring will transform you into a flexible all-rounder, able to apply your knowledge in a range of industries and occupations. You will hone your financial, critical analysis, decision-making and communication skills – attributes that are highly valued in any dynamic work environment. We’re highly rated - year after year, students award UNE the maximum 5-star ratings for Overall Experience and Student Support in The Good Universities Guide, so you know you are in good hands. With 10 majors to choose from, our undergraduate business course gives you the flexibility to pursue a diverse range of career paths. Australian Defence Force personnel with four years or more experience, who have completed the Australian Defence Force Army All-Corps Captain, Sergeant, Warrant Officer or Chief Petty Officer course and an ADF-approved diploma, may be eligible to enter this program based on their military qualifications and Defence Force work experience (see Course rules and plans). If you have an approved Diploma from an Australian TAFE or Registered Training Organisation you may be eligible for credit for your diploma which will enable you to complete this course in a reduced timeframe. Our flexible course allows you to complete either one or two majors (see list below) and select from a wide range of units, allowing you to focus the direction of your studies, or keep your options open. If you choose only one major, you need to choose a further 8 units, which can be chosen from any discipline across the university in order to truly broaden your learning experience.
Completion of the Accounting major plus four additional units will qualify you for admission to the major professional accounting bodies (CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants ANZ and the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA)). Choose this option if you want to qualify as an accountant but also want a broad set of business skills. You can also choose to specialise in accounting in our Bachelor of Accounting.

Entry is based on Australian Year 12 equivalence, an approved VET qualification, or an approved overseas qualification. English language requirements must also be met.
