This Master of Finance is organised as a two-track programme to match incoming students’ prior learning and career intentions, with English as the language of instruction. In the first semester students follow one of two parallel tracks that develop the programme’s core competencies; both tracks join together in the second semester, after which students move on to one of six available concentrations. This structure lets students either deepen existing finance knowledge quickly or build a solid finance foundation from a quantitative background.
The Business Track is aimed at students who already hold an academic background in finance and demonstrate strong academic proficiency in the subject. Its first semester blends a range of topical coverage while ensuring students obtain the key core skills that will be required across the rest of the programme. This track is newly introduced to serve students ready to advance from a finance-focused undergraduate education.
The Finance Immersion Track follows the more traditional Master of Finance curriculum and is the primary study path for the degree. It is specifically designed for applicants who may not have prior finance coursework but do have a quantitative academic background. Through a combination of academic lectures and hands-on tutorial sessions, this track develops essential finance and business competencies to bring students up to speed.
