In this course, delivered by Swinburne Online’s specialists, students receive the same level of content and experience as the on-campus Bachelor of Accounting, but it is presented in ways best suited to online learning.

Swinburne’s Bachelor of Accounting is about so much more than numbers. It’s about how finances affect businesses and people’s lives.

This course aims to develop the technical skills and personal traits you will need to adapt and thrive in this rapidly evolving profession.

Today’s accountants work increasingly with financial technologies, big data, data analytics and data visualisation tools. They use figures to tell both big picture and detailed financial stories through lenses like those focused on ethical practices, the environment and sustainability.
