About this program
Adelaide University's Master of Financial Planning is a two-year degree approved under the Financial Adviser Standards, so graduates meet the qualification requirement to give personal financial advice in Australia (a Professional Year and the ASIC adviser exam still follow separately).
Foundation courses in business statistics, economics, accounting and finance lead into advanced investment management, risk and insurance, estate planning, taxation law, superannuation strategy and the practice of delivering financial advice. Entry is a completed bachelor's degree with no specific prerequisites. It suits career changers and finance professionals moving specifically into financial planning and wealth advice.
