The Bachelor of Business (Accounting) course is designed to provide graduates

Applicants may also satisfy entrance requirements with qualifications equivalent to the VCE, eg TAFE qualifications (the first year of a TAFE associate diploma or equivalent TAFE qualification) or comparable Year 12 qualifications, including International Baccalaureate, or other approved tertiary study.
Students who have not successfully completed VCE or equivalent may satisfy entry requirements by completing at least two Monash non-award single subjects or open learning (OLA) subjects.

The Bachelor of Business (Accounting) is recognised by both the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia as meeting academic requirements for membership. However, students are advised to note the specific requirements for each of these bodies.
Normally three years for full-time students, six years for part-time students. Maximum period allowed to complete the course is 10 years.
Candidates will undertake the equivalent to the course set out in the Monash University faculty handbook for the year in which they first enrolled, unless advised to the contrary. Where there has been a break in study other than by leave of absence, the candidates will undertake the equivalent to the course set out in the handbook for the year in which study is resumed. The following course structure is under review for the year 2000 and may be varied.
Students studying their course part-time, or who are not on normal progression, are advised that subjects may be offered only in the day or evening mode in any one semester.
Electives can be chosen from those offered by the Department of Accounting and Finance or any department within the university, providing they are at the appropriate level, and prerequisites are met. Students who wish to meet the educational requirements for membership of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants (ASCPA) and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) will need to choose their elective subjects carefully; BTX1151 (Corporations law and trusts) and BTX3931 (Taxation law) should be selected.
Completion of the BBus (Accounting) may enable progression to an honours year and a variety of postgraduate courses either at Monash or other Australian or overseas universities. Details of specific postgraduate courses are available on inquiry from the faculty.
