Program structure

Few people can successfully go through life without using the services of a bank, credit union, building society or other financial institution. This is a complex profession which goes beyond the handling of money and the balancing of accounts.

Banking and finance is a global industry. Like all other countries, Australia is influenced by what happens overseas. Our economy, the value of our dollar, whether our interest rates rise or fall and how our stock market performs are all determined by what happens in major countries around the world.

To help you, this degree takes you through studies in interrelated finance, banking and the legal areas that the modern banking and finance professional must understand. You will learn about financial institutions management, lending and global banking so that you are well-equipped with the specific skills to enable you to pursue a range of careers in the banking, finance and wealth management sectors.

Year 1 you will complete the commerce core courses.

Year 2 and 3 you'll complete courses for the Banking and Finance major and supplement your studies with a choice of:

• an overseas internship or exchange
• an industry placement (work-integrated learning)
• an additional area of specialised study, or minor
• specialisations offered from other areas of the University
