COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) at the University of Wollongong (Course Code: 3090) is a 144-credit point undergraduate degree completed over three years of full-time study. The program is designed to build a strong foundation in business in the first year, followed by specialised accounting knowledge and professional skills in later years. In the first year, students study core business subjects that introduce key areas such as financial and management accounting fundamentals, business law, economics, marketing, management principles, and responsible business practices, helping them understand how organisations operate. From the second year onwards, students focus on the Accountancy major, which develops advanced technical skills in financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, taxation principles, accounting information systems, and corporate reporting. These subjects prepare students for professional accounting pathways such as CPA and CA qualifications. In the final year, students complete a capstone subject that integrates their learning through real-world business problem solving, often involving collaboration with students from other disciplines to enhance teamwork and analytical skills. Alongside core and major subjects, students complete electives, a minor, or a second major from business or other approved disciplines, allowing flexibility to tailor their degree according to career goals. Overall, the curriculum is structured to progress from foundational business knowledge to advanced accounting expertise, ensuring graduates are well prepared for careers in accounting, auditing, taxation, finance, and corporate advisory roles.
