Macquarie has always considered our students to be co-creators in their learning. One of the most exciting developments in our new curriculum is around your ability to study two degrees at once.

In this double degree, you will be able to combine:

• Master of Commerce: A practical and flexible course, which is designed to meet employer needs, to help you extend your business knowledge making you highly employable in a wide range of careers. Want to develop depth in a certain business discipline? You can choose one or two specialisations under this degree.
• Master of Finance: This comprehensive, flexible and career-oriented degree has been designed to meet the needs of employers who are seeking finance professionals with highly practical skills. You’ll learn how to apply the advanced technical skills required to examine, interpret and appraise a range of financial information and market conditions. You’ll study recent developments and issues in banking and finance, and professional practice – with a particular focus on ethical, social, regulatory, economic, sustainability and global perspectives. And you’ll conduct independent research and exercise professional judgement in solving complex banking and financial problems.

Specialisations:

• Accounting
• Business Management and Organisations
• Finance
• Human Resource Management
• Marketing
