The Bachelor of Accounting is a three-year full-time course given over six semesters (half-years) of study. Two of these semesters are spent in industry, where students continue to study part-time and complete work-integrated projects while undertaking industrial training. Other subjects are "fast-tracked" at university (studied intensively over 4-6 weeks) during January-February.

The special design of this course and its subjects allows students the opportunity to complete a major in accounting, plus a second major or sub-major in another business discipline, as well as gain a year of full-time work experience, all within three years. Students still enjoy at least 6 weeks of holidays each year.

When it comes to elective subjects, students may choose to study a second major (8 subjects), or a sub-major (4 subjects) plus 4 other elective subjects, from within the Faculty of Business or from other UTS Faculties.  The range of majors, sub-majors and electives open to Bachelor of Accounting students is the same as for Bachelor of Business students at UTS. For a full list of these choices refer to the Faculty of Business Online Handbook.

Honours study is also available.  Graduates of the Bachelor of Accounting who attain a credit grade average or better may undertake an Honours program with the Faculty of Business with a specialisation in any area in which they majored. The standard duration of the Bachelor of Business (Hons) course is one year (two semesters) full-time.

Please note:

1. The Bachelor of Accounting is not the main undergraduate accounting course at UTS.
2. The Bachelor of Accounting is only open to Australian citizens and permanent residents of Australia.
3. All applicants must note that the course starts with compulsory fast-track classes 6 weeks before most other university courses. Check out the start date for next year’s course or read more about the fast-track period.
