New learners
OP700109 Bachelor of Business (Accounting) is closed to new learners for enrolment in 2023.
Over the last eighteen months our staff have been working collaboratively with Te Pūkenga and staff from the other polytechnics who offer accounting courses, to prepare to move to a unified Bachelor of Accounting programme.
As a result of this work, all institutions in the network of Te Pūkenga subsidiaries, will be progressively closing current accounting courses as we prepare to offer new courses being developed for the unified programme.
The new Bachelor of Accounting will be offered in Trimester 1 2023, subject to approval from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). This new degree developed by Te Pūkenga will meet the new competencies introduced by the accounting professional bodies, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ) and CPA Australia. The same degree will be offered online and in person at Te Pūkenga campuses.
If you would like to be notified when this degree is available, please provide your details here.
