Bachelor of Accounting - Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) · Melbourne City

The Bachelor of Accounting at RMIT University is a three-year professional accounting degree taught at the Melbourne City campus. Core study moves from business decision making and the business environment through financial accounting, company and finance law, taxation, auditing, and strategic accounting leadership. You also complete accounting data analytics and visualisation, managerial advisory finance, and a Business Graduate Folio that documents industry-ready skills. Together these subjects prepare you to address real organisational problems and to meet the knowledge base expected for accounting careers in Australia and internationally.

Alongside the accounting core you may complete a business minor to broaden skills in an area such as finance, marketing, analytics, cyber security, or entrepreneurship. Minors are chosen inside the formal course rules during enrolment planning and sit with option subjects rather than as a separate marketing block. Advisors help you sequence credit points and prerequisites so a minor supports your February or July intake timeline and does not delay graduation from this three-year full-time degree at Melbourne City.

Confirm availability and prerequisites with an advisor before you lock in a February or July study plan.

They sit inside the syllabus so you can specialise without leaving the Bachelor of Accounting framework. Use these options to strengthen assurance, tax, or advisory signals for graduate roles while meeting course rules. We help you balance options with core capstones such as auditing, strategic accounting, and the Business Graduate Folio.

A university elective sits inside the Bachelor of Accounting structure so you can sample a subject beyond the accounting core, minor, and option lists while still meeting course rules. Electives are not listed as a separate marketing block on this page; they are chosen during subject planning with your advisor. Balance credit points, prerequisites, and folio timing so the elective strengthens rather than delays your path to graduation at RMIT Melbourne City.
