Bachelor in Accounting (Hons.)

(R3/0411/6/0072) 03/29 (MQA/FA2052)


Accounting is the language of business, and accountants help business leaders make smart financial decisions. The Bachelor in Accounting (Hons) is a three-year programme that is recognised by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants, which will enable graduates with the relevant professional working experience to qualify as a Chartered Accountant Malaysia or C.A. (M). It provides students with the knowledge and skills required to become professional accountants, including digital and entrepreneurial skills. The programme is infused with A’adab©, or the values expected when one is dealing with others and the environment, which is introduced in the Halatuju 4 Program Perakaunan published by Malaysian Institute of Accountants.The programme was designed to provide the breadth of knowledge relevant to the discipline and also impart significant values upheld by the accounting profession. With the transition from a 4-year to a 3-year study duration, MMU is committed to ensuring the exemptions from professional bodies are maintained.

Through an exclusive collaboration that is the first in Malaysia and the second in Asia, students have the opportunity to obtain up to four additional exemptions of ICAEW professional papers, on top of the maximum exemptions granted by ICAEW.
