Title: Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) or (Professional Accountancy)
Post by: cleo_xo on July 02, 2010, 05:00:11 pm
Does anyone know what the difference is between the Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) and the Bachelor of Business (Professional Accountancy)?

According to their course guide Accountancy is 3 years full time and Professional Accountancy is 4 years full time but that's all i know, thanks :)

Professional has a year of co-op work experience integrated into the program which is highly beneficial, hence it is 4 years.

I dunno, I don't go to RMIT but I got some friends at uni who transferred to Melbourne after a year at RMIT, they said RMIT have like companies which they have ties with and you can apply for them, you just have to go through the application process, or if you want you can search and apply for any other company on your own. They'll have to be willing to have you there for a year and  meet the co-op requirements though.

does anyone know if it would be possible to transfer from one degree to the other?
For example lets say you do one year professional accountancy and then you get a cadetship so you dont need the one year of work experience, is it possible to transfer to accountancy?
i really hope that made sense :P

it depends on the subjects but usually most commerce subjects (at my uni anyway) are 3 hours a week. so 4x3 = 12 hours a week...
