Other Honours or Masters subjects as approved by the Academic Director of the program.
Students who are planning to transfer to the Master of Commerce (Finance) and who have satisfied all other entry requirements for the Master of Commerce (Finance), including GMAT requirements, but who have not already fulfilled the requirement to take Calculus and Linear Algebra, may apply for permission to take MAST10005 Calculus 1 or MAST10007 Linear Algebra as an elective in their second semester of study. Permission will only be granted where a student’s academic performance in their current program indicates a strong likelihood that they may be granted entry into the Master of Commerce (Finance) if their performance were to be maintained at that same level in subsequent semesters of study.
Please note:
If FNCE90056 Investment Management and FNCE90018 Corporate Financial Policy or equivalent subjects have not previously been taken, these must be included in the course of study (and preferably taken in the first semester).
