Sydney Business School Undergraduate Prospectus : 2013
Contents
“The finance major at Sydney provides a great introduction to the financial world. I once saw financial markets as obscure - I now intern at PIMCO, a global asset manager with $1.3 trillion of assets under management.” MURPHY XUE FINANCE MAJOR If you’re interested in a career as an investment banker, stockbroker, trade fund manager or as CFO of a large company, then a background in finance is essential for you. More generally however, a finance background is extremely useful for anyone interested in business, as well as being valuable from a personal perspective, as it better equips you to make your own investment decisions. The Business School academics who teach finance are also a leading research group, currently ranked among the top five finance groups in the Asia–Pacific region. Our academics are actively engaged with industry both nationally and internationally, which means you receive high-level, market-specific knowledge that mixes theory with current relevant practice. This major takes an applied approach, teaching you how capital markets work and what you need to know to work in them. Finance focuses on understanding the financial decisions of corporations and individuals, as well as the structure and operations of relevant institutions and markets. Understanding finance is critical to the success of corporations and helps inform decisions at all levels of business, large or small. sydney.edu.au/business/ugmajors/ finance FINANCE OURMAJORS
