About this program

The Bachelor of Accounting at Charles Darwin University teaches students key concepts in financial reporting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, and business law. Delivered over three years of full-time study, this course is structured across semesters and consists of units of study, each carrying a specific number of credit points. Throughout the degree, students work through core and elective units, covering practical and theoretical aspects of accounting used in Australian business.

Students gain technical skills in accounting software, learn to interpret and prepare financial statements, and develop an understanding of Australia’s taxation system. The course suits those who are analytical, detail-oriented, and interested in business operations. Assessment formats include assignments, exams, and practical exercises based on real-life scenarios.

Relevant Australian content includes coverage of local accounting standards and regulations, and the opportunity to pursue work-integrated learning placements. Many students complete a capstone project in their final year, applying skills to a workplace context or current industry issue. Graduates can apply for positions with public practice firms, the corporate sector, and government agencies in Darwin and beyond.

International students should check the English language requirements and note that meeting these enables progression into the course, while visa conditions such as the right to work 48 hours per fortnight during study, and possible access to the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation, may apply. Always confirm current course structure and requirements on the university’s official page.
