The Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance is an introductory course designed to provide a general understanding of areas in applied finance such as financial statement analysis, managerial finance, statistics and corporate governance.
We value the importance of prior learning and work experience in this course and understand that not all mature age working professionals have completed an undergraduate degree. If you fit this profile, still apply for the course, as we will assess your other relevant tertiary qualifications or substantial relevant professional or managerial experience.
Domestic students have the option to study on campus or via distance delivery mode. Distance refers to learning activities that do not require you to attend campus, but instead allow you to join pre-scheduled virtual classes.
Upon successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance, you may enrol in a Master of Applied Finance and be eligible for credit for the four subjects completed within the graduate certificate. Progression with credit to other master's programs, including the MBA, may also be possible.
See the course handbook for more information.
