Study commerce accounting in Malaysia: the Curtin degree

The degree at a glance

A Malaysia commerce degree built on accounting, audit and taxation

The Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) is a three-year, full-time, on-campus course. Curtin publishes the code (R3/0411/6/0032)(09/29)(MQA/SWA0022) - and the Malaysian Qualifications Register lists MQA/SWA0022, a self-accredited entry ongoing since 9 May 2009 with no end date shown. The course covers accounting concepts, preparing and analysing financial statements, applying accounting standards and regulations, auditing, taxation, and relevant areas of business law and financial management.

Two framings matter before you shortlist it. First, this is a three-year commerce degree, not a four-year engineering course: the first year is a business core shared with other commerce students, and the accounting major builds across years two and three. Second, Curtin's published list of professional accounting bodies is the university's statement about accreditation and recognition - each body's exemption, membership and registration rules are its own, and we confirm what applies to your pathway before you rely on any professional route. Curtin also lists this course at its Perth, Dubai and Singapore campuses; this page covers the Malaysia campus.

After the degree

Malaysia accounting careers: practice, audit, tax and business analysis

Curtin's published career list for this course is concrete: accountant, auditor, company secretary, tax agent or consultant, business analyst, tax adviser and treasurer. The programme page also states that the course is accredited by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) and CPA Australia, and recognised by the Institute of Public Accountants, ACCA, ICAEW and MICPA. That is the university's statement; each professional body's exemption, membership and registration rules are its own and can change. We confirm the current standing and what it means for your pathway before you rely on any professional route. No job or salary is promised.

The Malaysian Qualifications Register entry (MQA/SWA0022) is a self-accredited listing ongoing since 2009 with no end date shown on the register print. That register position is not, by itself, a promise about any professional body's decision for your cohort or destination country - the same check-before-you-rely rule applies.

Budget without a guessed award

Malaysia funding planning: separate tuition from a scholarship decision

The Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) programme page does not establish a scholarship amount or deadline for an Indian applicant. We quote neither. If funding is part of your decision, ask us to check the award's nationality rules, course scope, continuation conditions and application dates in writing.

Start your comparison with the published annual international tuition of RM38,200 (about Rs8.96 lakh), then add the stated 6% service tax for international students, living costs, visa costs, books and other charges. An award belongs in the budget only after its conditions and your eligibility are confirmed.
