Can I take longer than the recommended time to complete the MAFP?
Yes. We appreciate that some students may need to slow their study down,
usually due to outside circumstances such as busy work schedules.
Please note: International students entering Australia on a student visa must study at least
twelve credit points per semester under visa regulations.
Can I transfer from the Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Finance to the MAFP at any time?
Yes. If you freely opted to enrol in the Postgraduate Certificate, you simply need
to complete the front and back of the current application form to indicate your
desire to transfer to the Masters Program.
If you were directed to enter the Postgraduate Certificate at application,
please contact the Centre’s Director to ensure that you are making satisfactory
progress in your studies before you complete the paperwork to transfer.
Any credit points gained in the Certificate (maximum of sixteen) will be credited to the Masters program.
Because you will be entering a new program of study, you will be charged at the
current intake rate, not at the rate you paid during your Certificate study.
Can I transfer from the MAFP to the Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Finance program at any time?
No. But once you have obtained sixteen credit points, you can opt to take out the lesser degree. You simply need to advise our office of this intention.
Once I have been awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Finance can I apply to join the MAFP?
Yes. Please complete the front and back of the current
application form to indicate this desire.
- Sixteen credit points from your Certificate study will be credited to the Master’s program.
- You do not need to re-enrol in any core units you successfully completed in the Certificate program.
- You will need to complete sixteen credit points (including any core units not undertaken in your Certificate study) to complete the Masters of Applied Finance irrespective of the number of credit points you studied to complete your Postgraduate Certificate.
