Purpose of the Program

A rapidly changing world requires adaptable analytical skills. This degree provides you the knowledge and skills required in the management of enterprises in both the public and private sectors. This involves both a broad-based multidisciplinary approach and the opportunity for focused, professional training in areas such as economics and finance.

Over the duration of the program you will experience a variety of learning experiences which are designed to assist you in developing skills as a graduate in Economics and Finance and as an independent and lifelong learner. Teaching and learning approaches for this program may include: lectures and tutorials, problem-based learning, assignments, projects, the use of assessment and feedback tools, and activities using the Financial Markets Training Simulator. The types of assessment used in the program may take the form of formal examinations, assignments, case studies, projects, and in-class tests.

The application of theoretical learning to a discipline-related work situation is an essential part of the program. You will have the opportunity to directly apply academic skills to a work context through work integrated learning designated courses such as, ‘Forecasting and Quantitative Analysis’ and ‘Equity Investment and Portfolio Management’, or through activities involving case studies and assignments.

The range of occupations available for graduates of this program is varied.  The economics/finance/financial planning disciplines embedded in this program prepare graduates for a broad spectrum of occupations ranging from banking, stockbroking, funds management, insurance and superannuation industries or in other private sector or government organisations which have a requirement for high level, technical expertise in financial or economic analysis.

The final year of the program includes the capstone course BAFI3234 International Finance which will provide you the opportunity to critically reflect on, consolidate and apply the theoretical approaches and work-practice experiences gained throughout the program in discipline related real-world scenarios, providing you with the skills and attributes necessary for work-readiness in your chosen career field or to progress successfully to further studies at the graduate level.
