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 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.
