Bachelor of Commerce with a Major in Accounting

Accounting – often referred to as the language of business – enjoys a critical role within today’s business organisations. Understanding this language means accountants hold the privileged position of being key contributors to a business’ success. Armed with such skills, accountants can apply their knowledge in any industry.

Developed in consultation with industry experts, this major will set you up with the skills and knowledge you’ll need for a successful career as an accountant. You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of key business functions and strategies. You’ll develop awareness of contemporary issues in accounting and the skills needed to critically appraise and devise solutions to complex accounting problems. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to contribute to more than just the bottom line.

For international students, Macquarie uses a selection rank to determine the minimum eligibility requirement for each undergraduate course. This rank has been converted into equivalent scores for various recognised international high school qualifications and university entrance examinations, including global qualifications like the International Baccalaureate (IB) and GCE A-Levels.

For more information on how this score is converted for your qualification, please see our academic entry requirements for international students.

Apply early! Remember that places are limited in all programs, especially popular degrees. It is a good idea to apply at least two to three months before Session begins, in order to avoid disappointment, and to give you enough time to organise your student visa.
