Banking and Finance Major (BKF)
The School of Economics and Finance recommends the following course combinations which provide
excellent professional recognition and career opportunities:
The extended majors in Banking and Funds Management build on the corporate and institutional finance
studied in the major. The extended majors provide the opportunity for in-depth, comprehensive study of
banking, funds management and risk management. Four electives are available for another area of study.
The Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance) with a double major in Accountancy provides the
opportunity for professional recognition in both disciplines. The Banking and Finance major is enhanced
by additional Accountancy studies. These graduates are in high demand for a wide range of career
opportunities.
The Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance) with a double major in Economics provides the
opportunity for professional recognition in both disciplines, offering a wide range of career opportunities,
particularly in the economic and financial forecasting functions within the financial and government
sectors.
Course structures for these combinations are available at the Faculty Enquiries counters. Enrolment advice
is available from the School of Economics and Finance (Level 8, Z Block, Gardens Point).
