The learning outcomes associated with individual units have been aligned with program level learning outcomes and the Macquarie University graduate capabilities. All units in the program are supported by an online environment that provides access to resources such as lecture notes and recordings, readings, quizzes, discussion forums and assessment materials, and that facilitates communication between teaching staff and students. Learning activities are varied and include both formal and informal experiences. Throughout the program, students will participate in a range of traditional and innovative learning activities designed to develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and techniques required for successful participation in employment. The Master of Banking and Finance assists students to develop advanced analytical, evaluative and communications skills and to critically apply their knowledge and skills to real world situations.
