The Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance (GradDipAppFin) is part of a suite of courses structured around the Master of Applied Finance (MAppFin).

The course is structured to allow students to develop the skills and knowledge required to excel in a sharply focused field. They gain a thorough understanding of the field through their study of core and elective units to explore their areas of interest in greater detail from a range of perspectives. Units are offered throughout the full calendar year. Students who successfully complete the GradDipAppFin are able to articulate to the MAppFin. Units completed in the GradDipAppFin will be recognised for full credit in the MAppFin. Students who have completed the Master of Applied Finance have gone on to occupy senior positions within financial services and other sectors in Australia and overseas.
