About the course

The Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance provides an introductory grounding in key applied finance areas, including financial statement analysis, managerial finance, statistics and corporate governance. It recognises prior learning and may consider substantial relevant professional or managerial experience for applicants without an undergraduate degree. On completion, you can progress into the Master of Applied Finance and potentially receive credit for the four subjects completed in this graduate certificate.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue or strengthen careers across finance and business analytics, including roles such as business analyst, equities analyst, risk analyst, finance manager, investment banker, market research analyst and chief financial officer. The course builds foundational finance knowledge that supports work in corporate finance, investment and governance-focused environments. Outcomes align with a Graduate Certificate in Accounting & Finance, suitable for early career development or upskilling for finance-focused positions.
