This study provides a thick description of an Accounting bridging course and it examines the impact of this pre-university course on the academic performance of students in a first-year introductory Accounting course at a South African university. Several control variables (such as taking Accounting at school, performance in mathematics at school, learning self-efficacy, motivation to learn and student motivation) were taken into account to determine the impact of the course on students’ performance in various assessments of the first-year Accounting course. Propensity score matching and Heckman’s procedure were used to compensate for selection bias. The findings show that there is a positive association between students’ attendance of this pre-university course and their academic performance in Module test 1. cb2026 Accounting PhD Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities 2019-06-02T11:40:08Z 2019-06-02T11:40:08Z 2019/04/05 2018 Thesis Joynt, CM 2018, The impact of pre-undergraduate preparation courses in accounting on academic performance, PhD Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/70118> A2019 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/70118 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
