Bachelor of Applied Management

Meet the accounting needs of any business and you'll be in high demand. In this pathway you'll learn the theory and practice of accountancy, critical thinking, decision-making and business analysis. The course also includes financial reports and business tax regulations. Before you graduate, you'll complete an accounting project for a real business as your final assignment. There are two Accounting pathways to choose from - the non-CAANZ/CPA pathway, which has greater flexibility, or the CAANZ/CPA pathway, which allows you to become a Chartered Accountant.

CAANZ/CPA pathway

This Accounting pathway allows you to be become a Chartered Accountant. This comes with a range of benefits and networks in New Zealand and around the world including membership in 11 countries like the UK, Canada, Hong Kong, USA and Japan. CAANZ is recognised in 165 countries as a member of the Global Accounting Alliance.

You'll be a finance, accounting and business professional as a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA). The CPA qualification focuses on strategy, leadership and global business skills, giving you the edge you need in today's dynamic business environment.

The CAANZ​/CPA pathway is very structured, which means you'll be taking core modules each year of your degree and will be unable to study for a second major.

These core modules will give you a breadth and depth of skill to let you work as an accountant all over the world. In your third year you'll also apply your skills on an industry project with a local business.
