Accounting is more than crunching numbers, it’s often referred to as the 'language of business' as accountants provide key stakeholders with the financial and non-financial information that underpins all business decisions.
If you're data-driven, have an analytical mind and enjoy problem-solving, consider a dynamic future in accounting with QUT's accounting major.
Accountants are in strong demand and work all over the world across a range of industries. All businesses require accountants, and many chief executive officers, board directors and entrepreneurs have accounting degrees.
QUT's Accounting major is future-focused and designed and taught by industry experts and world-class academics to help you develop the skills and expertise needed for a successful career.
As technological advancements have changed the way we do business, you will learn how accounting systems function and will develop skills using a range of techniques and tools to provide and interpret business information. Developments in technology are integrated throughout the course, and assessment tasks are designed around cases, to ensure that your degree always has a practical focus.
Throughout this major, you will also have great opportunities to be placed in industry-leading organisations and workplaces, where you'll engage with accounting professionals, build important networks, and learn what your future career could really be like.
Your final-year capstone unit is an extended simulation where you and your colleagues will provide professional advice to solve real-world problems for industry clients. These real-world problems will be similar to what you will encounter in your career, and this unit will give you valuable hands-on experience.
Our Accounting major, together with specified core units, will allow you to pursue qualification as a professional accountant (such as a Chartered Accountant or CPA). These are amongst the most recognised and desirable business qualifications in Australia and worldwide.
