Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Business offers two majors: Accounting and Management. You will be able to nominate your major before the end of your first year. The Accounting major comprises 9 units (including prescribed units to meet professional accreditation standards), while the Management major comprises 8 units with a range of units from which you can choose.

Undertaking a major in Accounting provides a strong practical and theoretical grounding in the competencies required to pursue a professional accounting qualification with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ), CPA Australia (CPA), Institute of Public Accountants (IPA), or Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

The Bachelor of Business is delivered face-to-face through lectures, tutorials and seminars at the Perth CBD campus (Suite 18, 7 Aberdeen St Perth). Sheridan does not offer a fully online study option for remote students. However, the degree can be completed part-time; students are regarded as part-time when they take less than twenty-four (24) credit points per year, which may extend the program to four or more years.
