What is this course about?

CSU's Graduate Certificate in Finance and the Master of Applied Finance prepare students to operate efficiently in a variety of relevant positions, providing them with essential analytical and decision-making skills.

The Graduate Certificate in Finance aims to provide training in finance for graduates of other disciplines, specifically providing operational competency in the application of analytical and decision-making techniques, and knowledge about the institutional environment within which such decisions are made.

The Master of Applied Finance is designed to provide students from a range of educational backgrounds with the opportunity to complete postgraduate level education in finance, financial institutions management and funds management.

The Master degree includes specialisations in Banking and Financial Planning.
