About

According to the Financial Times, a Master of Finance is a ‘must-have degree’ for those seeking professional careers in specialist finance roles, including investment banking, and asset management.

Bond’s Master of Finance (Professional) is a rigorous program that will cement your understanding of financial principles and their application to corporate financial policy, international financial markets, derivative assets, and their associated markets. The professional program follows the same structure as the Master of Finance program with an additional 20-week professional portfolio component. This ensures you are equipped with industry experience before you graduate. If you are a domestic student, please see Master of Finance.

Classes involve experiential learning including case study analysis, investment role plays, and industry guests, preparing you to undertake professional tasks from day one.

If you have successfully completed cognate undergraduate programs, you may be eligible for advanced standing of up to 40 credit points toward the Master of Finance (Professional) program.
