This course by distance education has been designed to provide graduates in banks and non-bank financial institutions with intensive training in banking and finance subjects.

Course objectives

On completion of the course students should:

have a rigorous, theoretical and practical grounding in the principles of banking and finance and their application;
have a balanced, analytical appreciation of the impact of regulatory supervision and the other external forces governing the financial system's competitive environment;
have obtained specialist professional and academic qualifications and skills applicable to the rapidly changing banking and finance industry;
have the knowledge base to advance to the higher level studies.

Admission requirements

Applicants require a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution or an executive certificate from this faculty with an average grade of credit or above.

Fees

This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the School of Business and Electronic Commerce as to the 1999 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.

Duration

The graduate diploma is normally completed in four semesters of part-time study.

Mode of offering

These courses are offered by distance education from the School of Business and Electronic Commerce.

Credit for work done previously

Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of four credit exemptions for subjects considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the course of study. Please refer to the course director for further details.

Professional recognition

As these courses are primarily designed to allow graduates in the banking and finance industries to satisfy the educational requirements for entry to senior associate status with the Australian Institute of Banking and Finance, applicants should approach that organisation to obtain clear guidance given their educational background and experience of the subjects to be selected to achieve this purpose. Some students may be able to satisfy these requirements by completing the certificate. Other students may need to advance to the diploma upon completion of the certificate.
