The fourth year comprises eight semester units which include the completion of a research project. The extra material covered in fourth year allows honours students to tackle practical problems from a broader intellectual perspective.

Increasingly, major employers of accounting graduates are supporting honours programs and encouraging eligible students to tackle the fourth year.
