A finance major from Massey University lets you structure a personal study programme incorporating a wide range of disciplines to help develop your numeracy, logic and analytical skills. Finance is all about the systems, institutions and instruments involved in the transfer of funds between individuals, businesses and governments. This includes vital, short-run decisions such as cash management and credit policy, which affect the survival of an organisation, as well as long-term decisions such as investment in plant and equipment, fund-raising, and mergers and takeovers.

With your major in finance a wide range of employment opportunities will be open to you. You may find employment in corporations, retail and wholesale banking, insurance companies, finance companies, or brokerage houses.
