Interested in a great career that centres on money? Compound your opportunities with Finance.
How do foreign exchange dealers handle the volatile kiwi dollar? Why do share values go up and down? If you study Finance you’ll understand money, banking, investments and credit. Bankers, financial planners, corporate treasury departments, sharebrokers and the Reserve Bank are some of the players in the finance industry.

You will examine corporate finance, portfolios and markets, small business finance, financial modelling and personal financial planning.
If you are looking to quickly acquire new skills for a new career, a graduate certificate is a great option for you.
Graduate certificates are intended to develop your knowledge and skills in a subject area that is different to your first degree's major. You may be eligible if you haven't studied for a degree before if you can demonstrate an interest in the subject area and a satisfactory academic ability. By choosing to study a graduate certificate you can quickly develop career competency in a single subject area.
A graduate certificate is a shorter version of a graduate diploma, is studied at undergraduate level, and can be completed in the equivalent of one semester of full-time study.
Candidates must gain 60 points at 100 level or above, including at least 40 points at 300 level or above, in the Graduate Certificate subjects.
