Degree Overview
As long as there is commerce, society will always need accountants. And, with the rise of so many new industries in Australia, accountants have never been in higher demand. Studying your degree with Notre Dame will give you an extra edge, especially as the CPA fully accredits our degree Australia and Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand.
As part of your degree, you must undertake 150 hours of practical experience in a workplace of your choice. This is not work experience but an embedded internship – indeed, many of our students later find full-time employment with the company where they took their practicum. According to the current QILT (Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching) survey of Australian academic institutions, 76.7 per cent of our graduates found full-time employment after completing their business program at Notre Dame – more than 3 percent above the national average.
The School of Business has built strong links with the business community, which provides obvious benefits for our students. The Commonwealth Bank, Century 21, Nine Network, Bauer Media and St George Bank are just some companies participating in our internship roster. Apart from a dynamic internship program, the university attracts some of the state’s high achievers to teach and inspire our students.
A degree in accounting offers a wide variety of career paths. Depending on your interests and choice of courses, you could specialise in internal auditing, forensic accounting or tax accounting.
