Our disciplines

Accounting

Economics

The University of Melbourne has taught accounting since 1925 and has built a strong reputation as a premier educator in the field.

Today, the Department of Accounting proudly maintains and enhances that reputation. As Australia’s leading accounting department, it attracts high calibre academic staff and students.

Economics provides skills in problem solving for business and government.

It examines ways to understand what happens in markets, the performance of national economies and approaches for analysing and interpreting data. Ultimately, economics facilitates better decision making about the myriad of problems you will confront in the commercial world or in government.

Accounting in today’s business world is extremely sophisticated.

An accountant is a strategic adviser and business partner who must have an in-depth understanding of business issues and processes, as well as the skills necessary for sound decision-making. Accounting studies will equip you with the skills to produce and interpret financial information that reflects how organisations operate and perform.

You will learn how to produce this information for a wide range of users, including external firm stakeholders like shareholders and creditors, and also for managers within an organisation.

Actuarial Studies Actuarial Studies is a discipline well-known for its quantitative aspects and mathematical rigour.

A graduate qualification in this area provides a natural pathway to working in the insurance sector and can offer real competitive advantages in today’s financial services industry.

An Actuary’s work is based upon a multi-disciplinary background of mathematics, statistics, demography, finance and economics. The Centre for Actuarial Studies is located within the Department of Economics. The Centre is one of the six teaching units in Australia that are fully accredited by the Actuaries Institute. Members of the Centre undertake research in insurance, superannuation, financial mathematics and related areas.

Our actuarial programs are firmly established and conducted by academics respected in their fields.

Economics students at MBS reap the benefits of studying with the leading economics department in Australia.

Subjects are taught by some of the world’s best economists – scholars whose research places them at the forefront of their discipline and who regularly advise government and international agencies. The Department of Economics has several dedicated research units attracting local and overseas academics, and continually pushes the boundaries of knowledge in the fields of economics and econometrics. The Faculty of Business and Economics is also home to the Melbourne Institute, Australia’s leading and longest standing research institute in the field of economics.

Finance Financial markets, products and practices are fast-evolving, posing challenges for practitioners who must keep pace with increasingly complex products. Finance programs at MBS have been designed to prepare students for these professional demands by blending the best of academic knowledge and professional practice.

Finance programs at MBS are developed and taught by academics from the Department of Finance, one of the few Australian university departments exclusively committed to this discipline. The Department is internationally recognised for its world standard research, research training, and undergraduate and postgraduate education in the

discipline. The global relevance of its curriculum is evidenced by its program partnership with the CFA Institute.

In addition to a solid grounding in finance theory, students can gain practical knowledge from industry professionals engaged by the department to teach in selected subjects.

Management Management is about getting the most out of resources, adding the most value or getting the best return.

It can be about self-management; prioritising one’s own time, energy and effort. It is also about managing other people. An effective manager is a catalyst, broker, facilitator, coach and people developer.

At MBS the Management discipline encompasses specialised areas including consulting, human resource management, international business, operations management and managing contemporary businesses and organisations.

Our Management programs are taught by some of the finest Australian and international academics acclaimed for their innovative teaching and engaging subject matter.

Marketing Marketing is about identifying and understanding customers and giving them what they want.

Effective marketing is everything that needs to be done in order to deliver the products and services to the customer, including research, planning, pricing, packaging, promotion, selling and distribution.

Marketing programs at MBS are designed and taught by academic staff known for their top-tier research, high-quality teaching performance and engagement with industry. Many consult to businesses, government and within the not-for-profit sector.

Industry engagement MBS offers a range of program-specific opportunities for you to gain ‘out of the classroom’ participation and practical experience.

Activities can be undertaken locally, nationally or internationally and the knowledge and skills complement your program of study. Opportunities include: Practicums We offer our students a unique duo of programs which sets us apart from other Australian business schools: the Global Business Practicum (GBP) and the Melbourne Business Practicum (MBP). In teams, students are assigned to a host company to undertake a real business project, experiencing culture, society and real-life business practices first hand whilst applying their academic skills.

GBP destinations include Singapore, Shanghai, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur. Organisations who have participated in the practicums include Cadbury, KPMG, Kraft, Committee for Melbourne, NAB and various not-for-profit organisations in regional Australia.

Internships Local and international internships are offered in a variety of organisations and industry sectors.

Each internship is formulated to provide students with valuable experience, introducing challenges and opportunities faced in the working world. Depending on the needs and resources of the employing organisation, internships vary in length, are paid at least a minimum wage, and may lead to continuing work.

“Gaining a CSP has really made completing my graduate study less of a financial burden for me and my family.�

Tanya Nunes received a CSP in the Master of Management (Marketing), and is now employed in a graduate consultant role with Ernst & Young.

Program fees

63

Program fees Program fees can be found on the relevant program page. Fees are subject to an annual increase and those quoted are indicative only. Program fees are determined by the number of subjects you must complete and whether you are a local or international student. All fees quoted are in Australian dollars ($AUD) and unless otherwise indicated, are for full-time study. Typically, full-time students complete four subjects per semester and part-time students complete an average of two subjects per semester.

Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP’s)

The number of CSP’s is limited and selection is based on academic merit.

A CSP is a higher education place for which the Australian Government provides funding towards the cost of your education. If you are eligible for a CSP you may be able to use HECS-HELP to help pay your remaining student contribution.

Applicants who are not successful in being awarded a CSP, but are accepted into the program will receive an Australian Fee place and may access FEE-HELP to assist in paying fees.

CSP’s are available to Australian and New Zealand citizens and holders of Australian permanent residency visas.

For a student entitled to a CSP in 2016, the full-time student yearly contribution is $10,440 per standard year ($1,305 per standard 12.5 credit point subject).

Programs with CSP’s The following programs have CSP’s: »»Master of Actuarial Science »»Master of Commerce (Actuarial Science)

»»Master of Commerce (Management) »»Master of Commerce (Marketing) »»Master of Economics

»»Master of Management (Accounting and Finance) »»Master of Management (Accounting)

HECS-HELP HECS-HELP is an Australian government loan program to help eligible students on a Commonwealth Supported Place pay their student contributions. No upfront tuition fees are required for students accessing HECS-HELP.

FEE-HELP FEE-HELP is a loan program that helps eligible fee paying students (both full and part-time) pay their tuition fees. It is available to Australian citizens and holders of a permanent humanitarian visa. FEE-HELP is similar to HECS-HELP, in that you can defer your tuition fees and repay these later through the taxation system, once your income reaches a specific threshold. You apply for FEE-HELP through a form made available during the online enrolment process.

»»Master of Management (Finance)

Students may not exceed the FEE- HELP limit ($97,728 lifetime, indexed).
