The Bachelor of Professional Accounting degree is designed to provide a rigorous accounting education with a careful blend of theory and requirements of professional practice. The degree provides comprehensive training in accounting and business for those wishing to enter the accounting profession. The specialist training in the core professional areas of accounting, finance and law is integrated with an understanding of the broad commercial context relevant to the management and conduct of business. Traditional accounting and finance studies are thus complemented by developing students' competencies in business oriented knowledge and perspectives.

In total 24 subjects are taken over six study periods consisting of 72 credit points (24 subjects x 3 credit points each).
