COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Applied Economics and Master of Banking and Finance double degree offers a comprehensive curriculum that combines advanced economic analysis with specialised financial expertise to prepare graduates for leadership roles in the global financial sector. The Master of Applied Economics develops strong analytical, quantitative, and research skills through the study of economic theory, market behaviour, public policy, and data-driven decision-making. Students learn to evaluate economic trends, interpret complex data, and provide evidence-based solutions to contemporary business and policy challenges. Complementing this, the Master of Banking and Finance enables students to specialise in one of four key areas: Sustainable Finance, FinTech, Financial Management, or Banking. The Sustainable Finance specialisation focuses on responsible investment, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, and sustainable financial practices. FinTech explores digital innovation, blockchain, financial technologies, and the transformation of financial services. Financial Management develops expertise in corporate finance, investment analysis, financial planning, and strategic decision-making, while the Banking specialisation provides knowledge of banking operations, financial regulation, risk management, and lending practices. Together, the two degrees develop advanced analytical, financial, and strategic capabilities, preparing graduates for careers in banking, investment management, financial consulting, economic policy, fintech companies, government agencies, multinational corporations, and international financial institutions operating in dynamic and competitive global markets.
