Overview

Master of Commerce - Finance

This major is a challenging and flexible program that develops global managerial competencies for professionals with financial responsibility. 

Its curriculum is aligned with the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Institute’s Candidate Body of Knowledge and can help you pass the CFA’s examinations successfully.

You’ll learn through in-class learning, guided independent research and team projects. You’ll focus on corporate finance, investments, international business, banking and financial modelling.

You’ll also have access to the Trading Room, a Curtin facility where you can access industry-standard software, international news services, live securities, and commodity prices at your fingertips.

Note: This major sits within the Master of Commerce. You will apply for the Master of Commerce to apply for this major. 

Alternatively, suppose you’re seeking a more advanced qualification. 

In that case, you should instead use the Master of Finance, tailored towards graduates with substantial knowledge and experience in the finance-related topic.

Towards the end of your course, you’ll complete a capstone experience. 

Your capstone may include an internship, consultancy experience, research project or study tour, which will grow your network, business acumen, skill sets and industry setting knowledge.
