The Bachelor of Accounting is a specialist degree, based on a
cooperative education scheme with scholarships sponsored by industry. The
degree has been introduced at the request of the professional accounting bodies
in Australia, and with the support of the Office of Training and Further
Education. The course provides for accelerated learning, the integral
components of which are the periods of structured industry-based learning.
Students selected to undertake the degree will be awarded a scholarship of
$4400 (or the equivalent in paid work experience) per annum for each of the
three years of the pass degree. The scholarships are provided by industry
sponsors of the degree, who also play an important role in the industry-based
learning sections of the course. During industry-based learning, students work
in commercial settings and also complete specified projects determined jointly
by academics and sponsors. Over the length of the course, students spend time
with a range of business organisations that have agreed to participate in the
course. Admission to this course is limited to school leavers who are citizens
or permanent residents of Australia. A quota of 25 full-time places applies.
Students must complete a major specialisation in accounting.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics.
Up to three open electives may also be taken from other campuses or other
Monash faculties.
The sponsoring organisations are responsible for students during the 10 months of industry-based learning. During this time, it is intended that sponsors will provide students with an integrated educational experience which illustrates and enhances their academic work.
