Master of Commerce - Finance

Acquire research skills from and be mentored by leading academics. You’ll critically assess contemporary practices and issues in your area of expertise, and have a framework for creating and synthesising evidence to advance your field and society. Research is a skill that is useful in any career as you learn how to critically assess current practices in your field of expertise, provide empirical evidence for any issues you identify, and propose and evaluate solutions to overcome these issues. The MCom will prepare you to undertake high-quality practice-oriented research in public and private-sector roles, or to continue your academic journey with PhD research. Studying the MCom part-time allows you to grow your professional career through part-time work while undertaking your study. As a part-time student, you will typically study two courses per trimester, with two days of full-time study per week. Our careers team can assist you with finding part-time employment at a local public or private sector organisation, and to identify a project or issue at your workplace that aligns with your research area.

You need a Bachelor’s degree with at least a B average unless stated otherwise in the programme’s minimum general entry requirements. A background in a particular subject area or extensive relevant work experience may be required. Students with equivalent international qualifications from a recognised institution are encouraged to apply. Each application is assessed individually, and entry into postgraduate programmes is at the discretion of the programme director.
