Overview

Bachelor of Business (Finance)

Finance is about money and investments. People on their own, people in partnerships, companies and other entities (including state and federal governments), have a common objective of profitable investment. 

What is a government-secured bond? What is a share? What are the reasons for investing in either and when is the right time? These are some of the questions answered in the domain of finance.

This degree

You will undertake a foundation year that covers all core disciplines of business, giving you a solid understanding of issues facing organisations today. 

From your second year, you will begin your major in Finance. The degree has an emphasis on practical applications and real-world financial management. 

You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you have learned in collaboration with students from other disciplines. 

Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience whilst receiving credit towards your degree.

What you will study

You will learn the theoretical knowledge and tools demanded by employers in all sections of the world economy: investment, financial markets, financial modelling and portfolio analysis. 

You will utilise state of the art technology to learn advanced statistical techniques for analysis, including the classical linear regression model, model diagnostics, univariate time series modelling and forecasting. 

You will explore corporate finance, including financial strategies, security analysis and portfolio management.

After completing the Bachelor of Business (Finance), you may enrol in a postgraduate business Master’s degree and be eligible for up to 4 subjects credit, reducing your master’s degree to 1 year

This degree trajectory means you can graduate with your bachelor’s and master’s degree in just 4 years.
