This double-degree can be customised to your needs based on which career path you want to pursue, and is vocationally oriented to highlight the sustainable management and resolution of business problems in both private and public sectors.

Through the Bachelor of Accounting and Sustainable Business you will gain the skills to manage the technical aspects of the economic, social and environmental impacts of business activities (the Triple Bottom Line), as well as a knowledge-base in financial and management accounting.

Combining these skills with a Commerce major, including Business Law, Corporate Social Responsibility, Finance, General Commerce, Information Technology Management or Sustainable Economics and Policy, will provide you with the necessary broad-based administrative and management skills required by organisations to compete in the global economic environment.

From financial accounting to carbon tax/emissions trading systems; your study will be broad and diverse, yet tailored to the challenges facing the modern corporate environment.

When graduating with a double degree, you will receive a separate testamur (official certificate) for each degree and will be able to complete the double degree in less time than if you chose to study the two degrees separately.
