We understand that sometimes you don't know exactly which degree you'd like to pursue, but you know which field or major excites you. Use these areas of interest to narrow down your study options based on your interests and career goals.
Studying accounting as part of your degree will teach you the systematic and comprehensive recording of financial transactions. Within an Accounting major, you’ll learn to measure and analyse not only what is happening in organisations, but also the broader financial environment. As an accountant, you are involved in assessing the financial validity and future of organisations, as well as its investments, acquisitions, taxation, opportunities and threats.
In an Economics major you study the production, consumption and transfer of wealth. This area focuses on things like global economies, government spending, interest rates and government regulations. Economists analyse real-world problems such as sustainable economic growth, economic management and climate change and build models for planning and prediction of future events.
This specialisation is highly valued across industries and opens up doors all over the world.
A Finance major is concerned with the study of managing money efficiently. It focuses on cash flow; asset and risk management; capital markets; portfolio theory; international finance; and forecasting and budgeting. It looks at pricing assets based on their risk level and expected rate of return.
Finance professionals can be involved in a range of industries including the stock market, banking or financial planning.
Studying a combined degree gives you two qualifications at once. The advantage is that you graduate with two degrees in less time than doing them separately. You may also gain a competitive edge in the employment market as employers are increasingly looking for staff with diverse skill-sets.
