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 integrated program in accounting, with a co-enrolment with TAFE NSW North Coast Institute, enabling you to graduate with a number of recognised qualifications. Graduates of this course will receive Certificate IV in Accounting and the Diploma of Accounting in addition to their degree.
Integrated programs allow students to study at TAFE and CSU at the same time, and are typically suited to school leavers, those interested in changing careers, or those who work in the industry but have limited formal study.
Course structure and TAFE integration
After enrolling and completing the Certificate III and Certificate IV in Accounting at TAFE, students enrol in the Diploma of Accounting in Session 1 and the Advanced Diploma of Accounting in Session 2, as well as the Bachelor of Accounting. At this point, students are co-enrolled and study at both TAFE and CSU.
During the first two years of the course, you will study at TAFE towards an Advanced Diploma of Accounting, including specialist elective streams, as well as the first three subjects of the Bachelor of Accounting. In the final year, you will complete the remaining subjects from the Bachelor degree.

| Year 2 Session 1 | Diploma of Accounting | Start - one University subject |
