The accounting department offers a 132-credit-hour integrated curriculum. The syllabus includes University, Faculty, and Department requirements to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to work in various administrative positions in public and private sector companies in various fields (i.e. internships, finance, consulting, and auditing).
As a result, students can confidently pursue higher education or a professional career. The new course syllabus, which has been in place since 2006 and is regularly updated, focuses on improving students' skills in Accounting in general, and also their computer skills and English language in particular; additionally, it is concerned with academic research, which has been made mandatory since 2019.
The Accounting Department modules are taught in Arabic and English, depending on the student's track when applying to their bachelor's program. Computer labs are available to use when necessary, based on course modules, with all necessary specialized accounting programs or other research databases available.
