< Back to Bachelor of Business Majors (cont.)The Financial Planning major equips students with the theoretical and practical competencies required to participate in the rapidly emerging financial services sector. Students gain an understanding of the principal elements of the personal financial planning process, along with the technical and analytical skills required to prepare financial plans. The subjects in the major cover the financial system, investment and risk analysis, and other major areas of knowledge required to undertake personal financial planning as a professional. This major is of particular interest to students completing the Accounting major, as accountants are increasingly being called on to provide financial planning advice to high net-worth clients as part of their professional practice. Where a subject overlaps with one in another major or sub-major, students are required to substitute the overlapping subject with another Faculty of Business subject.
