This major is available to all Western Sydney University students except students in the Bachelor of Economics or students undertaking an Applied Finance or Economics and Finance Key Program. Finance is important to everyone, whether they wish to work in the finance industry or simply manage effectively their own personal finances. An add-on major or sub-major in finance allows students to choose from a wide range of finance electives covering areas from superannuation to investment and risk management. Those completing a major in finance can access a range of finance careers, in particular with a variety of financial institutions. Business students pursuing a non-finance key program will also find a finance major provides a useful complement to their main qualification.
