Bachelor of Commerce - Professional Accounting with the degree of Bachelor of Business Analytics Macquarie University

Accountants are specialist number crunchers, speak the language of business and are, therefore, key contributors to a business' success. Business analysts are experts at extracting value from data to help businesses better understand their consumers, innovate, reduce their risk and maximise opportunities. Analytics is becoming a strategic requirement in virtually all areas of business, including accounting, so having skills across both fields will give you a competitive edge when you start your career.

This double degree will equip you with knowledge about how to use data as a tool for business strategy and decision making, and will enhance your standing as an accounting professional with advanced and comprehensive data analysis skills.

You'll be able to apply current theory and analytical techniques to real-world industry situations.

A focus on multiple disciplines provides you with qualitative skills (graphic presentation and information communication), quantitative skills (modelling and statistics), computing skills (business information/intelligence systems and programming) and business training (accounting, business analytics, forecasting and management).

You'll gain essential accounting and reporting knowledge, as well as a range of business-related skills in assurance and audit, commercial law, economics, financial management, information systems and statistics.
