Master of Banking and Finance and Master of Management

The Master of Banking and Finance will equip you with advanced employability skills that meet the demands of both the traditional finance and evolving fintech sectors. You’ll undertake hands-on training with industry-standard platforms – LSEG Data & Analytics, FactSet and Capital IQ – in our immersive Finance Decision Hub. Simultaneously, you’ll learn from teachers whose research expertise in sustainable and corporate finance, fintech and blockchain is uniquely informed by their time working with firms like Deloitte, Westpac and NAB. This integrated approach ensures you gain practical experience in financial decision-making, market analysis and trading, and that your learning is closely tied to real-world scenarios. The Master of Management will fast-track your progression into managerial positions, equipping you with leadership skills – like communication and decision-making – and a leadership mindset – grounded in self-awareness and adaptability – for success across diverse roles and industries. You’ll learn from research-active teachers with deep expertise in areas including leadership, HR management, organisational behaviour, international business and supply chain management; as well as industry guest lecturers from the private and public sectors, NGOs and entrepreneurial enterprises. Moreover, you’ll make connections – locally and globally – with opportunities to undertake an internship for academic credit, or participate in an international exchange.
