Other information

The Finance program provides participants with the opportunity to acquire knowledge of finance theory and techniques for leading-edge professional practice purposes.

The Graduate Certificate in Finance provides an introduction to finance theory and practice. It is of particular interest to those working in the various fields of finance and banking whose backgrounds are in a field other than business, finance, commerce or accounting.

The Graduate Diploma in Finance builds on this to provide a core of financial institution knowledge and decision-making skills for executives in financial institutions, corporations and financial consultancies.

The Master of Business in Finance provides a comprehensive range of skills and expertise expected of leading practitioners in the banking and finance sectors. Participants have the opportunity to specialise in the areas of banking, funds management, corporate finance and quantitative finance through learning strategies that cover both contemporary finance theory and leading-edge techniques in the practice of finance and decision making.
