Double Degree Program in Accounting & Finance

The Accounting & Finance Double Degree is growing with more creditable partner universities from different countries. The streaming equips students with both general accounting and specific finance skills, such as Business Finance, Applied Finance, Business and FinTech, as well as Strategic Finance. The time spent in partner universities can vary depending on the scheme agreed with the partner universities. For example:

Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) agreed to have students studying in New Zealand and Australia from the 5^th to 8^th semesters (4 semesters)*. The students will then return to Indonesia for their final project defense. The cumulative GPA for eligibility to embark is 3.00.

Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Strategies

The teaching and learning processes are conducted through lectures/tutorials, student-centered learning, problem-based learning, a computer laboratory, practical demonstrations/presentations and activities, completed with students’ independent studies. Finance students are expected to not only master accounting and financial issues, but also to enrich their capabilities in being exposed to the other business areas, real life, and entrepreneurial skills. In order to adapt with digital transformation in the industry, students are also exposed to a hands-on ICT application through courses such as Accounting Information Systems, Financial Ecosystems & Technology, as well as Business Statistics and Analysis.

By having qualified lecturers and guest lecturers from professional industries, the students will also be able to gain knowledge from both sides, i.e. theoretical and practical frameworks, through an in-depth analysis of case studies, and individual/group work projects. For doing their research activities, students can access magazines, books, academic journals in a good quality library – including accessing the online library to get updated academic papers. All coursework is assessed through a variety of assessment tasks such as reports, presentations, assignments, individual and group projects, and thesis/final project reports as well as mid-semester and final semester examinations. To further enrich our Bachelor studies experience, we provide the students with internship experiences embedded in the course, depending on the chosen streaming of the double degree program.

A series of extra-curricular activities are compulsory in the Finance program. These activities will allow students to develop their social awareness, competitiveness, and soft skills needed to be prepared for their future work environment.

In addition, innovation habits will be developed through course assessments that place an emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurial skills. Project Hatchery and Entrepreneurship Hatchery are courses that reflect such competence designed by the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL. Students are required to translate their selected innovative ideas into a visible design to comprehend the end-to-end innovation process. This innovation thinking approach is implemented in the teaching, learning, and assessment process of several courses throughout the program.
