Finance partnership provides opportunities for early career professionals
Two of the finance sector’s peak bodies, the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia) and Macquarie University’s Applied Finance Centre (MAFC) have partnered to provide high quality graduate education to early-career finance professionals.
The partnership gives you the opportunity to study a graduate finance program with the industry’s leading postgraduate education provider, combined with access to industry networks and career development programs offered by Finsia, the leading membership association for financial services professionals.
From 2015, graduates with degree qualifications in any discipline can enrol in MAFC’s new Graduate Certificate of Finance (GCertFin), and commence their postgraduate studies with MAFC as they build their professional work experience in the finance sector.
At the same time, students who join Finsia, access the benefits of membership, complete the requirements for the Financial Services Associate program and attain professional membership of Finsia.
The partnership also delivers a host of benefits for students enrolled in the Master of Applied Finance degree. Finsia will grant significantly discounted professional membership status at the level of Associate, allowing use of the post-nominal designation (AFin), along with an invitation to contribute to the Young Finance Professionals (YFP) activities, voting rights, and access to professional mentoring programs to advance careers in the industry.
