Course objectives

On completion of the course students should:

Entrance requirements

Applicants require a pass degree or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution plus a minimum of three years relevant employment experience. Applicants without a first degree who have a minimum of six years appropriate employment experience should refer to the section on executive certificates.

It is strongly recommended that students have access to a personal computer. (Please note that the School of Business and Electronic Commerce is an IBM-compatible Windows environment.) It is also strongly recommended that students have access to a modem to facilitate e-mail communication with teaching staff.

Fees

This is a fee-paying graduate course for which no additional liability under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) will be incurred. For a student undertaking the normal workload of two subjects per semester, fees of $800 per subject will apply. An additional fee will apply for amenities and library services. Fees paid may be tax deductible in accordance with Section 51(i) of the Income Tax Assessment Act, but students will need to determine their own tax position.

Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.

Duration

The graduate certificate is normally completed in two semesters of part-time study.

Mode of offering

This course is 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 two credit exemptions for subjects considered to be the equivalent of particular subjects in the course of study. Please refer to the course director for further details.

Professional recognition

As this course is 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.
