Accounting in High Schools program

This program allows high school students to gain credit towards a business degree by completing an accounting unit as part of first-semester Year 12 study.

Accounting is a core unit in all QUT Bachelor of Business degrees. Through the program, students undertake BSB110 Accounting to gain a unit credit toward future QUT business studies. Assessment is the same as for other first-year QUT students. All students sit mid-semester and final exams.

The program has many benefits for the students:

• no fees - we cover tuition fees
• free access to QUT services - students are officially QUT students and are given a student card
• they get a taste for university life, attending lectures from prominent accounting and business professionals, and completing the same assessment as first-year students
• teachers offer help and encouragement
• students complete a unit credit towards their future QUT business studies.

Students in third term of Year 11 studying accounting may enrol. Students who have achieved VHAs or HAs in their high school accounting subject and their English subject can be nominated by their teacher for participation in the program.

If you're interested in nominating a student, please contact our Accounting in High Schools program.
