Description

The honours program offered by the Department of Accounting provides students with an enhanced opportunity for careers in industry or academia, by providing advanced studies in accounting. It provides students with an opportunity to challenge and extend their knowledge, and is different from anything they will have previously experienced in their undergraduate studies. An honours degree provides graduates with analytical skills, problem-solving, strategic thinking, presentation and communication skills as well as personal development and career benefits.

Honours classes are typically small and involve a high level of staff and student interaction. Students in honours are exposed to the latest research and knowledge in the units chosen and develop research and presentation skills, as well as improving self-confidence and networking skills for the future.

While some employers require an honours year, others recognise the attributes an honours graduate brings to the workforce. Honours is the first step towards a position at a university as well as higher degree studies.
