The Bachelor of Business (Accounting) course is designed to
provide graduates with high-level skills in both the specialised field of
accounting and the general field of business management. Graduates will be
capable of pursuing careers in professional accounting and a wide range of
business fields.
The course blends a conceptual theoretical framework with practical
applications and covers basic discipline material through to more specialised
accounting strand requirements. Graduates will be well equipped to seek
employment in both private and public-sector enterprises.
Students must complete a major specialisation in accounting.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Caulfield
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. These other studies can in
some cases form a second major in a business discipline.

faculties.

(a) Inner core - completion of six compulsory units (36 credit points):
