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.
