COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides students with a sound knowledge base in the complementary fields of accounting and law. Students enrolled in the accounting degree can graduate with two qualifications including a Bachelor of Accounting and Diploma of Laws in a three year period when studying a full time load. The Bachelor of Accounting includes financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, business law and finance. This vocationally oriented and student-centred course provides students with employment and professional skills needed in a rapidly changing business environment. It allows for flexibility of study and prepares students for careers in a variety of business fields. In addition, communication, presentation and problem solving skills are emphasized. Successful completion of the degree will satisfy the entry requirements of the professional accounting bodies in Australia.
The Diploma of Laws is designed to meet the needs of those seeking an understanding of aspects of law without committing to a full law degree. The object is to provide a flexible course that caters for the diverse interests of potential accounting and law students. The course is designed to enable students to acquire a broad understanding of the legal system, legal processes and some areas of the law. Students will be able to choose from a wide range of law elective units, consistent with their particular areas of interest. The Diploma will be suitable for those who wish to acquire a general understanding of the law and legal principles, and some specialised knowledge, consistent with their employment or other needs. Upon completion of the Diploma, graduates may seek admission to the Bachelor of Laws degree with full credit for units completed under the Diploma program.
