Finance

The field of finance can take you anywhere in the world and to many careers. You can work in corporate finance for big business, for well-known financial institutions, or in financial markets in Australia and also overseas.

Financial planners help people to make smart decisions with their money. They take time to understand each client’s goal and objectives. They formulate a financial plan, monitor progress and help their clients maintain a budget. If you enjoy working with people and want to help others progress financially, this could be the industry for you.

Marketing

Marketing is one of the most important functions in a successful business.

Firms use marketing to differentiate their products and services in the marketplace, effectively communicate with their intended audience, and develop strategies to maximise consumer value, sales and profits.

Marketers blend advertising, promotions, digital and social media marketing, public relations, retailing and sales strategies to promote an organisation’s brand, products and services.

Your study will involve interaction with industry, as the marketing teaching team has strong industry connections. Units often feature real life clients; students develop strategies to solve real business problems and present their ideas directly to management representatives.
