Master of Finance
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
Bond's Master of Finance has been accepted into the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program, meaning the curriculum is deliberately mapped against the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge rather than following a generic finance syllabus, useful for students planning to sit the CFA exams alongside or after the degree. It's designed for graduates from other disciplines who want a quantitatively rigorous route into financial markets, risk management and investment analysis, and runs across Bond's three trimesters to be completed in one year and four months.
Teaching is case-based and delivered with input from industry guest lecturers, and students get access to Bond's two financial trading rooms and 40 Bloomberg terminals, more Bloomberg terminals than any other Australian university offers, which matters for a degree built around live market data rather than textbook problem sets. Group projects and case presentations run throughout, so students graduate having actually built and defended investment analysis rather than only having studied the theory behind it.
