About this course

The Graduate Diploma of Finance is designed to facilitate the acquisition of life-long financial knowledge and skills through sharing and building on the diverse experiences of all stakeholders within the course. It fosters empowerment and personal responsibility by encouraging students to challenge the conventional paradigms in finance.

The degree engages students through linking contemporary teaching and learning activities to real-world issues in local, national and global case studies. This approach facilitates self-actualisation, critical reflection, and experiential learning. It also equips our students with the theories, concepts, and knowledge in finance that are necessary to deal with the rapid changes in the finance industry worldwide by covering a variety of highly relevant perspectives, including theoretical, empirical, behavioural, ethical, economic, environmental and statistical/mathematical.
