Bachelor of Accounting/Diploma of Laws

This course provides students with a sound knowledge base in the complementary fields of accounting and law. Students enrolled in the accounting degree can graduate with two qualifications including a Bachelor of Accounting and Diploma of Laws in a three year period when studying full-time. The Bachelor of Accounting includes financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, business law and finance. This vocationally oriented and student-centred course provides students with employment and professional skills needed in a rapidly changing business environment. It allows for flexibility of study and prepares students for careers in a variety of business fields. This course also develops communication, presentation and problem solving skills. Successful completion of the degree will satisfy the entry requirements of the professional accounting bodies in Australia.

The Diploma of Laws is designed to give you an understanding of aspects of law without committing to a full law degree. You will gain a broad understanding of the legal system, legal processes and some areas of the law. Select from a wide range of law elective units for both a general understanding of the law and legal principles, and some specialised knowledge. Upon completion of the diploma, you can apply to study a Bachelor of Laws degree with full credit for units completed so you can finish your degree faster.
