Graduate Diploma in Finance

The Graduate Diploma in Finance provides an overview of finance and accounting basics and moves into the more complex issues of investments. Studying with motivated peers and leading industry professionals, students examine financial markets and institutions from an international perspective, focusing on multinational commerce and trade, and gaining a complete understanding of the economic impact of global markets and the financial services industry.

Students may pursue the diploma as either non-degree or degree students. A non-degree student who applies for admission as a degree candidate may apply credits earned in the diploma program towards a master's program.
