Offered in Sydney and Melbourne, the MAppFin is one of the leading courses of its kind in the world and is recognised and respected by industry in major financial centres.

The course features high quality face-to-face teaching, by lecturers with strong industry experience, to finance industry participants in the Australasian time zone, typically in block mode in CBD locations.

It is portable between our Sydney and Melbourne locations and can be tailored to suit work, study and lifestyle commitments.

The GradDipAppFin is ideal for those students who have prior learning in the field, are working in the financial services industry, or are from a non-finance background and are seeking to transition into the finance sector.

The course is deliberately structured to allow students to develop specialised knowledge in a sharply focused field.

Units are run throughout the full calendar year, both inside and outside traditional university sessions.

Face-to-face teaching is supported by blended learning curriculum and assessment.

The vast majority of students are enrolled part-time.

Students from one centre may attend classes (or exams) in other centres if travelling, or may transfer from centre to centre in accordance with any work posting, subject to any visa requirements.

Students who successfully complete the GradDipAppFin are able to articulate to the MAppFin.

Units completed in the GradDipAppFin will be recognised for full credit in the MAppFin.

Students who have completed the courses have gone on to occupy senior positions within banking, corporate finance, stockbroking, investment management, venture capital, project finance and risk management firms in Australia and overseas.Read More
