About this program

The Master of Financial Analysis at the University of Technology Sydney is a specialised program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge in financial statement analysis, investment evaluation, portfolio management, and risk assessment. Delivered over 1.5 years, this master's degree offers a rigorous mix of theory and real-world application, aligning with contemporary industry standards and practices in Australia's dynamic finance sector.

This program is structured into individual units of study, each carrying a specific number of credit points that collectively meet the requirements of a master's qualification on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Students progress through core and elective subjects—covering topics like corporate finance, valuation, derivatives, quantitative methods, and ethical standards—with opportunities to tailor their learning to personal interests or career goals.

A significant feature of this degree is the emphasis on practical experience. Coursework is frequently linked to Australian industry case studies, and may include a capstone project or work-integrated learning components where students solve actual financial problems, analyse market data, or undertake consulting assignments with local organisations. This hands-on approach ensures graduates are well-prepared for professional challenges in Australia’s competitive financial services industry.

The Master of Financial Analysis is ideal for those with a background in business, accounting, or finance—or professionals seeking to advance their analytical skills and progress in finance-related roles. The qualification is recognised by employers across banking, investment, and corporate finance, and international graduates may be eligible for post-study work rights under Australia’s Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Students should confirm full details and entry requirements on the official UTS or CRICOS page.
