Let me briefly introduce the situation in Australia.
national university
A model of Australian research universities, two financial majors, master of financial management and master of finance. The former major is suitable for undergraduates who want to broaden their professional fields, while the latter major tends to be more professional and deeper in the financial field, requiring more than one year's work experience. If you want to do in-depth research in the financial field, or you plan to study for a doctorate in finance, then MF will be your best choice. Because what you teach at MFM is basically learned at university, which is a waste for you.
University of Melbourne
First of all, the school is top 3. In 2005, the government took the most funds for scientific research, which is a sign of strength. The faculty of Finance Department is very good and developing rapidly. There are three financial courses: Master of Financial Management, Master of Applied Finance and Master of Business (Finance).
MFM is prepared for people who have no work experience but have financial academic background, and pays attention to the practicality of the course. This is a two-year degree course. MAF is for people who have worked in the financial industry for more than 2 years, and you don't need a bachelor's degree, as long as you have a bachelor's degree and your college grades meet the requirements. It is a degree course of 1 year. As for the course M.Com (Finance), it is usually a master's degree for doctoral students, and China students cannot directly enter it. You must first study the postgraduate diploma courses in related majors.
Macquarie University
Macquarie's accounting and finance teachers are very ordinary, but the applied finance center is very good, with the largest MAF in Australia (it seems to be the largest in the world) and good employment prospects. Courwork students are advised to choose this school.
Master of Business in Accounting, Macquarie University; Business schools teach finance, while universities' applied finance centers teach masters in applied finance.
As can be seen from the name, from combines the two courses into one, which provides a good choice for those students who are interested in accounting and finance, and has a wide range of employment in the future. The entry requirement is a bachelor's degree, and the undergraduate major is finance or accounting. The GPA requirement is above 2.7, and there is no requirement for work experience.
Macquarie University's MAF course is praised as a "model" course by the Asian Development Bank, and it is a degree course specially designed for those outstanding financial talents. The course selection covers almost all aspects of finance, from financial policy to risk control, from financial derivatives to portfolio management, from cash flow control to credit management, from macroeconomics to foreign exchange market, from real estate investment to hedging, from information system construction to enterprise merger and acquisition, from interest rate swap and venture capital to tax and insurance fund management. * * There are 33 different courses to choose from.
MAF is recognized by many professional associations, including the Australian Banking and Finance Association (AIBF), the Financial and Fiscal Association (FTAL), the Australian Institute of Certified Accountants (ASCPA) and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).
The basic entry requirement of MAF is a bachelor's degree, plus more than 2 years working experience in the financial field. Because MAF is responsible for training senior financial talents for many large banks and companies, the competition for this major is fierce and it is difficult to apply.
As for USYD, although the overall strength belongs to top3, the financial aspect seems to be average ~ ~ ~
