Accounting Major - 2010

Major at Hawthorn

Description

Accountants are much more than just ‘number crunchers’ - they are business professionals and valued members of management teams. Accounting is the ‘language of business’ and those skilled in it are able to operate on a global stage: evaluating, analysing and communicating the financial position of an organisation or individual. Accountants inform key business decisions and increasingly may progress to senior management or board positions.

The Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) is designed to equip students with the skills ideal for a career in accounting and beyond. The course is structured to assist in the intellectual, social and personal development of the student as preparation for entrance to a range of specialist and generalist business professions.

This Major is undertaken by students enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) program commencing from 2010.

Career opportunities

Students with studies in Accounting find rewarding work in industry, commerce, the public sector, the financial industry or business consulting and public accounting. After experience as either a graduate accountant or within a professional accounting practice, many new, varied and exciting career paths could open up for graduates in general consultancy, management or financial planning sectors.

Structure
