COURSE DESCRIPTION
Make your future career in accounting count
The aim of the Bachelor of Accounting is to produce highly competent, work-ready graduates with an in-depth discipline knowledge, and the technical skills needed to work as socially responsible accounting professionals across the private and public sectors.
Through a mix of theoretical knowledge and interdisciplinary real-world learning experiences, you’ll develop expertise in communication, networking, cross-cultural awareness and teamwork. This will enable you to become an agile professional with diverse employment skills which are transferable across a range of different sectors. You’ll graduate as a critical thinker with solid collaborative experience, and will be qualified to undertake professional study programs with both the Chartered Accountants of Australia and New Zealand and CPA Australia.
Study a Bachelor of Accounting at UC and you will:
understand the concepts and theories acquired in accounting
exercise critical thinking skills when dealing with ambiguous and incomplete information
identify and obtain relevant information for decision making and providing advice to stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds
utilise discipline-specific technologies to analyse complex problems in a variety of contexts
communicate clear, coherent and independent knowledge and ideas to a variety of stakeholders, addressing a diverse range of business/commerce problems
develop the capacity to exercise initiative and professional judgement in an ethically and socially responsible manner.
The degree concludes with a capstone project, which aims to integrate what you’ve learned throughout your degree and prepare you for the transition to either successful future employment or further studies.
