Why study the Bachelor of Advanced Finance and Economics (Honours)?
This program is an advanced 4 year degree in economics and finance for students who are proficient in mathematics and have a keen interest in economics and finance.
At the end of year 3 students will decide if they wish to take a more professional, employment oriented pathway or, subject to meeting certain entry criteria, a dedicated reasearch pathway in either economics or finance. The Economics and Finance majors are designed to enable entry into higher degree research programs upon completion of the BAdvFin&Econ(Hons). Students who choose to study a major in their fourth year may choose to undertake an exchange semester in year 3, semester 2.
Students not electing to take a major in either economics or finance will complete a 4 unit team project and will have opportunity to combine this with an internship and/or a tailored overseas study experience at one of our prestigious international partners.
