Learn how financial managers make key decisions, what factors shape investor choices, how businesses secure funding, and the potential risks and rewards of financial strategies. A Finance major provides hands-on knowledge of financial practices, covering corporate finance topics like balancing equity and debt for project funding, determining ideal dividend approaches, and strategically selecting business initiatives. You'll also explore investment principles and effective risk mitigation methods.
Beyond core financial theories that influence modern perspectives, you'll examine pressing contemporary topics, including the worldwide financial downturn and notable corporate/economic developments. UWA's Finance program emphasizes analytical thinking, leadership abilities, clear communication, ethical reasoning, and advanced research capabilities. For those interested in financial economics, pairing this major with Economics is an available pathway. Instruction occurs through diverse formats including lectures, tutorials, workshops, and interactive classroom sessions.
