These employers together contribute more than $3 million annually to this one course alone. The reason? Demand for graduates of the course, who are seen as something special, is very high and will continue to be so for many years due to critical skills shortages in business. This is despite tough economic conditions.
The UTS Bachelor of Accounting has the aim of producing potential business leaders of the future via an accounting career.
The main benefits to students who are selected into the Bachelor of Accounting are a tax-free scholarship valued at $54,000, a year of full-time work training, and great career prospects with the major employers who support the course. No Bachelor of Accounting graduate has ever missed out on a job, and these job offers are generally made by April of the students’ third and final year of study.
Other key benefits of this program, that set it apart from cadetships or other co-op courses, are that it takes only three years to complete and that students in the course study, work and play together as a close group of friends throughout that time.
What sort of students are UTS looking for? All-rounders, achievers and leaders in various activities. Plus students need to be genuinely interested in a career in business. A high ATAR is not essential, but it will help. Each year students are accepted with ATARs from 85 to 99.95 and who have the other skills and experiences to make them ideal business graduates.
Why choose to study accounting? Accounting is recognised by big business employers as a highly desirable qualification for graduates to hold and business leaders today increasingly have accounting backgrounds. This is because the role of accountants has changed radically over the last ten years. Accountants are now the people called upon to analyse the factors behind business success and failure. Accountants have the skills to provide the information needed for critical decision-making.
As a Bachelor of Accounting graduate, you will have potential for long-term employment, strong salary prospects, rewards and job security, opportunities for travel and working overseas, along with challenges to develop job satisfaction.
