CSU's Bachelor of Accounting in Port Macquarie combines practical and academic learning concepts, preparing you for a career in the dynamic and rapidly growing profession of accounting.

CSU's Bachelor of Accounting in Port Macquarie is an excellent platform from which graduates can launch their accounting and management career.

CSU in Port Macquarie offers an articulated program in accounting with TAFE NSW North Coast Institute for students who wish to complete the Bachelor of Accounting.

Articulated programs, which enable students to study and complete qualifications at TAFE first and then go on to complete their CSU study, are suited to current and graduate TAFE students, school leavers, those interested in changing careers, or those who work in the industry but have limited formal study.

Course structure

If you hold a completed Diploma of Accounting, you will receive credit for your prior study towards the Bachelor of Accounting.

Commonwealth supported places are available for this course, so you can defer paying fees until you start earning an income above the specified threshold.

Features of the program include the following:

  • students receive guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Accounting, with credit

  • with credit, students are able to complete the degree in three years full-time or six years part-time study

  • students will graduate with an Advanced Diploma in Accounting, and a degree in Accounting

  • students will also have the opportunity of applying for a TAFE-specific scholarship, worth $2,500 cash.

This course is comprised of:

  • 13 subjects delivered by CSU consisting of 13 eight point subjects (total of 104 credit points)

and

  • five specified and six unspecified credits delivered by North Coast TAFE from the TAFE Advanced Diploma of Accounting with all subjects being at least Certificate IV or higher.

To complete this program within three years full-time (six years part-time), students will be required to undertake two subjects in CSU Year 2 Session 3. Students not wishing to study during this session can be accommodated; however it will add an additional CSU Session to their study.

If you have not completed any TAFE study yet, consider the Bachelor of Accounting integrated program.
