Overview

Understand financial instruments, institutions, markets and systems. Study finance to learn the fundamentals of financial management and decision-making – including in times of uncertainty – and how to apply this expertise to sectors such as banking, consulting, planning, fund management, merchant banking, treasury or the sharemarket. Along the way, your experience will be enhanced by our small class sizes, and you’ll form close ties to your lecturers and tutors. After graduating, you’ll be prepared for financial management roles in private enterprise, government, the not-for-profit sector and trans-national corporations.
