Year Two B Comm (Accounting).
"...I found the B Comm Accounting course to be a very interesting and rewarding programme. Even though the majority of lectures were taken with the main commerce group, being part of a smaller class made it easier to make friends and adapt to college life better. The course itself is made up of a range of different subjects, from business law to marketing, making sure there is something which appeals to everybody. I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to pursue a career in the accounting field... "
