RMIT University

The program is designed to develop broad business analytical skills as well as the technical knowledge required within the economics and finance environment. You will focus on the application of economic, finance and statistical theory to common business problems. Furthermore, class presentations, simulations and group assignments are used extensively to develop essential personal qualities including clear thinking, resourcefulness, the ability to work in a team and perform under pressure.

To gain a thorough appreciation of the complexity of the modern finance industry, you will have access to the Financial Markets Trading Simulator. This facility consists of syndicate rooms linked by sophisticated computer, telephone and financial information networks. This facility is the only one of its type in Australia and is used by students during the program to simulate trading in the money and foreign exchange markets. Use is made of live online market data from Dow Jones Australia, Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) and Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
