Overview
The Master of Applied Finance and Economics is a joint master's degree in Finance and Economics that can be completed full-time in 12–13 months. Students take two semesters of advanced coursework in both subjects, followed by a practical applications course from November–February.
The MAFE offers students:
- a coursework-based alternative to the traditional master's research pathway

- preparation for careers in business, financial, banking, and public sectors
- an excellent foundation to pursue further academic training in the USA or the UK, if desired.
A Master of Applied Finance and Economics graduate:
- can demonstrate in-depth knowledge and understanding of current theoretical concepts and frameworks within finance and economics
- is able to think logically, analytically, and critically with respect to the academic literature in finance and economics and explain how this literature applies to real world problems
- is able to synthesise academic or professional literature and effectively communicate the results of their independent study orally and in written form
- is able to apply their in-depth knowledge of finance and economics to real problems.
Students must have completed a bachelor's degree that includes intermediate microeconomics, introductory business finance, a calculus-based mathematics course, and an introductory statistics course, and be approved for entry by the Dean of Business.
