Master of Finance/Master of Business Administration

The Master of Finance is a quantitatively rigorous program which integrates innovative subjects that highlight Bond Business School's excellence in experiential and case-based teaching.

The classes combine theoretical knowledge in Finance with practical insights delivered through case studies and guest lectures.

Team building is encouraged through group projects and communication skills are enhanced through class presentations.

The small class sizes in the Master of Finance allow for personalised attention and unparalleled access to Bloomberg terminals at our Bond FinTech Hub.

The program equips students to think critically, communicate professionally, work collaboratively, make ethical and responsible business decisions, and work effectively in a global business context characterised by change and uncertainty.

The Bond MBA is a generalist management program.

Designed to blend industry-relevant research with practical applications and challenges, the intended learning outcomes are centred on the three pillars of leadership, global business and entrepreneurship, developing graduates who can think critically and strategically in this context.

The program is designed to provide graduates with the core underlying technical skills that inform effective decision making, framed around the development of the interpersonal, cross-cultural and communication skills that are required to lead in the implementation of these decisions.
