Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Finance

About the course

In this 60-point programme, you will gain sound theoretical and practical knowledge to pursue a career as a financial professional. Resolve financial challenges, learn from a teaching team with a wealth of academic and industry knowledge and access purpose-built facilities such as the BNZ Financial Trading Room. This programme is ideal for new graduates seeking to develop skills in applied finance with an initial qualification. The PGCertAppFin is an alternative pathway for graduates who are initially uncertain about committing to a masters programme, and for those who do not achieve the required GPA for direct entry to the Master of Applied Finance (MAppFin). Courses passed for the postgraduate certificate can be reassigned to the 180-point MAppFin provided you meet the minimum GPA entry requirement and the postgraduate certificate has not been awarded. The PGCertAppFin will also serve as an additional exit qualification from the MAppfin for students who are unable to complete the requirements for progression to the advanced courses.
