Accounting

Bachelor of Commerce (BComm)

Why choose Accounting?

Accountants ask questions such as: How are cost estimates determined? What is the best way to investigate suspected corporate tax fraud? How are company liabilities calculated?

Accountants create, disseminate, and evaluate financial information. This program will give you an introduction to various information technologies, expose you to conceptual issues, and provide you with the appropriate technical skills to become an entry-level accountant. You'll complete formal presentations, live projects, group projects and various case studies during your degree.

Career opportunities

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Commerce degree with a concentration in accounting, you'll be prepared for global career opportunities in the areas of:

  • forensic accounting
  • financial auditing
  • tax accounting

A degree in commerce can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.

  • Co-operative work placement - Gain valuable full-time paid work experience that alternates with your academic studies.
