| Overview | This degree is structured to allow you to build skills and knowledge across a range of business fields. The degree is accredited by the premier professional accounting bodies in Australia. Such accreditation not only assures the quality of the degree, but allows you (on completion of the degree) to be awarded professional accounting qualifications so that you can enter directly into professional practice. If you require further breadth in knowledge for other professional areas you can include electives from subjects such as foreign languages, politics and psychology. With optional fee-paying summer schools and online learning support, you can accelerate your degree or combine it with periods of full-time employment. |

The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business combined degree provides a vocational edge for students with a primary interest in the humanities. It normally takes four years of full-time study to complete and enables students to mix the generalist educational advantages of an Arts course with the direct employment focus of a business studies course. The Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Economics combined degree is available both internally and externally and takes four years of full-time study to complete. This program responds to increasing employer preference for recruitment of combined degree graduates and provides an academic foundation in the essentials of economic analysis and business, while allowing for further specialisation in relevant areas of study.
