COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Accounting and Data Assurance provides an opportunity for students new to tertiary level study to earn a Bachelor-level qualification in accounting and combine it with data assurance, data analytics or cybersecurity for a potential career in a data-related field where financial data is prominent. This degree will also suit students who have completed unrelated tertiary qualifications and want to study a combined accounting and technology-oriented degree. To complete the Bachelor of Accounting and Data Assurance, students must complete 144 credit points representing 24 units of study. The course has two specialisations: (i) Auditing and Analytics and (ii) Cybersecurity. Students select one specialisation and complete the designated course structure for that specialisation. Both specialisations introduce students to accounting, finance, economics and quantitative methods, technology, ethics and data management. The auditing and analytics specialisation takes students further into all aspects of data assurance and analysis, focusing on financial data quality, security, interpretation and visualisation using modern analytic tools. In the cybersecurity specialisation, more advanced programming skills are developed through specific data security and analytics programming languages. Students will also study data security within artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain contexts, complete an advanced cybersecurity project and undertake a work-integrated capstone experience that is either consulting or internship-based. The Bachelor of Accounting and Data Assurance offers early exit awards for shorter study periods at the Diploma and Associate Degree levels.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The degree has two specialisations available. Students must select one specialisation and complete the whole sequence to qualify for the award. Students can change specialisation and will be credited for the units completed in the new specialisation. Units completed outside the structure of the specialisation cannot be counted toward the new specialisation. Students should note that the first term is shared across both specialisations and provides an opportunity to transfer after one term to the other specialisation, receiving full credit for units completed. All units are weighted at six credit points. Completing 144 credit points, equal to 24 units, is required to qualify for the Bachelor of Accounting and Data Assurance award.
