Outstanding academic innovation
Accounting is one of the more intense degrees and the coursework requires quite a lot of study and preparation. Reading through your textbooks is essential. It is not enough to just scan them – accounting textbooks are not like history textbooks.
You need to understand each concept from the beginning because as the lessons progress, the concepts build on each other. This means that if you do not understand what is going on in the first chapter, you will be very confused by chapter three.
Accounting is a technical subject; concepts are logical and require reasoning. You must be able to understand why things are done the way they are. If you can tell yourself “I understand why they do that”, you have successfully learnt the “why” of the concept.
Once you understand why a thing is done, knowing how to do it is important. You must be able to work out a problem and apply concepts yourself. Acquiring these skills is the main part of accounting.
Create a study schedule and stick to it as it will help you keep up with your studies as well as enjoy your free time.
It is a good idea to include at least one club or society in your schedule. Joining a club dedicated to accounting students will allow you to meet your peers outside the lecture hall and take part in interesting activities that will enhance your accounting knowledge.
