Students will experience a range of blended learning activities (pre-class interactive activities to prepare for the lectures and tutorials, in-class engagement with lecturer and peers to advance knowledge and skills, and post-class activities to consolidate what students have learnt). Online interactive learning materials are well-developed based on a variety of modern and interactive educational tools. 

All courses apply authentic assessments, which aim to enhance students' knowledge and skills and connect what they have learnt with the real business world. Assessments require students to apply the knowledge and skills obtained in the course to solve actual business problems. This is one of the best ways to prepare students for their future careers. 

Many courses in the Bachelor of Accounting use guest lecturers from industry, government or the community and activities relating to industry as part of the learning experience. Work integrated learning courses are included throughout the curriculum and clearly indicated as an integrated component of course choice.
