Master of Financial Management

Master of Financial Management (MFM) is a two-year, full-time postgraduate programme that provides specialised education in corporate finance, financial markets, investment analysis and risk management. Spread across four semesters, it builds on core management subjects such as accounting and economics while concentrating on finance topics including security analysis, financial derivatives, corporate valuation and international finance, along with a summer internship and a final project or dissertation. Admission generally requires a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university, followed by an entrance exam such as CAT, CMAT or a state-level test, along with a group discussion and interview at most institutes. MFM suits graduates who want a finance-focused postgraduate qualification rather than a broader general management degree, often as preparation for a career in banking, investment or corporate finance.
