Bachelor of Accounting

Yes. The Bachelor of Accounting at Victoria University is accredited by both CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ), meaning graduates are qualified for accreditation with these two leading professional accounting organisations.

In your second year, you can choose a major from five specialisations: Business Analytics, Data and Information Systems Management, Finance, Risk Management, or Financial Planning. You may also complete two minors to further expand your knowledge and enhance your employability.

Students gain real-world experience through the VU Tax Clinic, where you work with real clients under the supervision of expert chartered accountants, assisting with tax returns, TFNs, ABNs, and PAYG matters. The course also includes workplace-based projects, industry capstone units involving multidisciplinary group projects with real clients, guest speakers, and short-term workplace assignments or employment in areas relevant to your studies.

The Bachelor of Accounting is available as a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) for eligible students, with indicative fees for a full-time student in 2026 of approximately AU$17,399 per year. This fee is a guide only and does not include materials such as textbooks or the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). Eligible students may also apply for a HELP loan to defer tuition costs.
