Master of Applied Finance (Single Specialisation) (Financial Technology) / Master of Business Analytics

University of Wollongong

If you are currently working in the finance industry or a recent graduate, you will benefit from the specialised knowledge learned in this course.

During the degree, you will study the theory and practice of financial management and understand the global financial system. Additionally, competing approaches to corporate governance and business ethics will be analysed and developed, while you learn how to provide protection against portfolio, financial and corporate risks.

You will also examine the legal framework establishing, controlling and regulating financial institutions and examine bank management theory, a bank's lending process and the securities associated with it.

This two year packaged degree allows you to complete two master programs in just two years, instead of what would normally take three years to complete separately.

Initially, you will complete your first Master’s program for the duration of one and a half years. You will then receive six subjects (36 credit points) credit into your second Master’s program, allowing you to complete your second Master’s in two additional trimesters.

If you hold a bachelor’s degree in a Business or Commerce related area, you may be granted credit into your Master’s program to further shorten the duration and complete two Master’s in under two years.
