Bachelor of Business (Economics and Finance)
The philosophy underlying the programme is that a rapidly changing world requires adaptable analytical skills. This degree is designed to develop broad business skills as well as more specialised technical knowledge in the fields of economics and finance.
Students will gain a theoretical and practical perspective of the modern finance industry and will analyse the economic context relating to real issues such as inflation, unemployment, taxation, global finance and trade, inequality, international competition, consumer behaviour and economic growth.
The business world is competitive, demanding that you have the right qualification, skills and domain knowledge to survive and thrive.
Taught by both RMIT Academic Staff and local lecturers, this course of study leads to a fully accredited Australian degree.
You acquire a strong technical knowledge of economics and finance, and develop broad business skills required for high level economic and financial management.
Students and graduates of the programme are eligible to apply for membership of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA).
Graduates who undertake additional specified courses can have these counted towards partially fulfilling the academic requirements for Associate Membership of CPA Australia.
