UTS Bachelor Of Accounting (BAcc) Scholarship

Lunchtime presentations have commenced with the UTS Bachelor of Accounting Scholarship session.

Chris Harris (SPX Old Boy HSC 2018) was the recipient of this Scholarship in 2019 and came to share his experience and insight of this wonderful opportunity with our Senior Students.

Entry to the Bachelor of Accounting is very competitive and is not based on ATAR score alone. Selection criteria are as follows:

• A genuine and informed interest in an accounting-based career
• Personal attributes needed to succeed both as a student and in a business career - communication skills, inter-personal skills, team-working skills, problem-solving skills, enthusiasm and dedication
• Involvement and achievement in a range of activities and interests
• Demonstrated leadership qualities or potential
• Academic ability (desirable ATAR: 95)

You do not have to study Economics or Business Studies at school in order to qualify for selection. Mathematics (to Advanced level) is assumed knowledge, however it is not a prerequisite for the course (though students who have not completed Advanced Mathematics may wish to complete a bridging course or similar in order to prepare for the content of the degree.)

There is no fixed ATAR requirement for the Bachelor of Accounting. Like all of our selection criteria, the better your score for academic ability the better your chances of being selected.  Each year we take in students with ATARs ranging from 90 to 100, balancing criteria against one another, so that if you excel particularly in another area it can compensate for a lower academic score, and vice versa.

We thank Chris for generously sharing his journey in this program and we wish him all the best for a successful future.
