Bachelor of Business (Accountancy)

The global trend of cross-border transactions and the free flow of international capital require businesses to undertake transactions or have international operations and subsidiaries in multiple countries. These create a sustained need for qualified professional accountants who must possess knowledge of the most recent accounting technologies, international financial reporting requirements, and a comprehension of complex business transactions and operations.

Our Bachelor of Business major in Accountancy degree (previously known as Bachelor of Commerce: Accountancy) has been designed to adhere to accounting professional bodies' requirements, the highest industry standards and forward-thinking practices. We create our accounting modules to reflect the critical techniques and skills used today in accounting positions around the globe. This focus on real-world issues and current demands ensures that the curriculum is relevant and applicable to the industry and job market.
