Melbourne Business School
AccountingThe 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.
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 StudiesActuarial 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.
EconomicsEconomics 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.
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.
FinanceFinancial 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.
ManagementManagement 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.
MarketingMarketing 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.
