Bachelor of Accounting
When you study a Bachelor of Accounting at The University of Notre Dame Australia, you’ll receive a thorough grounding in all areas of business. Embracing both the theoretical and practical skills needed to ensure your success, your program will cover everything from business law and IT to corporate accounting and auditing. In addition, an internship with some of Australia’s best-known corporations will give you the opportunity to test your skills in the real world.
As long as we have commerce, society will always need accountants. And, with the rise of so many new industries in Australia, accountants have never been in higher demand. Studying your degree with Notre Dame will give you an extra edge, especially as our degree is fully accredited by CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand.
As part of your degree, you will be required to undertake 150 hours of practical experience in a workplace of your choice. This is not work experience but an embedded internship – indeed many of our students later find full-time employment with the company where they took their practicum.
According to the current QILT (Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching) survey of Australian academic institutions, 76.7 percent of our graduates found full-time employment on the completion of their business program at Notre Dame – more than 3 percent above the national average.
The School of Business has built up strong links with the business community in New South Wales which provides obvious benefits for our students. The Commonwealth Bank, Century 21, Nine Network, Bauer Media and St George Bank are just some of companies which participate in our internship roster. Apart from a dynamic internship program, the university attracts some of the state’s high achievers to teach and inspire our students.
A degree in accounting offers a wide variety of career paths. Depending on your interests and choice of courses, you could specialise in internal auditing, forensic accounting or tax accounting.
