Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Accounting and Finance

The Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Accounting and Finance at Flinders University in Adelaide is a comprehensive double degree designed to provide students with a broad foundation in business principles alongside specialised expertise in both accounting and finance. Across four years of full-time study, students complete a structured sequence of units of study, amassing the required credit points to meet Australian bachelor double degree requirements. This programme incorporates core business subjects such as management, marketing, business law, and strategy, coupled with in-depth financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, and corporate finance.

In alignment with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), this double degree provides both theoretical understanding and practical skills. Students have opportunities to participate in work-integrated learning or professional placements, which are highly valued in the Australian context and can help bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world business practice. The curriculum may culminate with a capstone project, integrating knowledge from both business and accounting/finance streams to solve contemporary industry problems.

Graduates gain a robust skill set covering financial analysis, budgeting, strategic planning, ethical decision-making, and effective communication within commercial environments. The course suits those aiming to pursue professional roles in accounting and finance, or who wish to position themselves for broad business leadership. Flinders University maintains close links with Adelaide’s commercial sector and wider Australian industry, equipping students with strong professional networks and applied experience. International students benefit from work rights of 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for post-study work opportunities in Australia through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Entry requires evidence of English proficiency, with several accepted tests as specified by the university.
