Did you know most CEOs have an Accounting Degree?

Accounting is an excellent foundation for business minded students, and the UTS Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) Scholarship provides the opportunity to get paid and gain experience while you study.

Students can receive a tax-free scholarship worth up to $54,000 as well as two six-month internships with high-profile companies. While students complete a major in Accounting they also have the option of doing a second major, or two sub majors across a range of business subjects including sports management, marketing, international business, digital creative enterprise and much more. Students who are high-achieving and interested in becoming a future business leader are encouraged to apply. Further information is here. Round 1 closes 17 May 2024.

A reminder: All Year 12 students are to book in their Careers Chat via the booking form on the Year 12 Teams Careers Hub. Other students are welcome to make a booking through the Careers Lampada page, where there is also the latest Careers News.
