Graduate Course Guide 2013 a

Never Stop Learning Business and Economics have always been important disciplines and never more so than today. To stay ahead, professionals need the best possible preparation.

At the GSBE this preparation is provided though a well-established, quality education, taught by internationally recognised staff and informed by our research. The notion of Never Stop Learning reflects the benefit and value we see in a university curriculum combining strong educational foundations with cutting edge theory and ongoing enquiry. A university education embedded in research enables us to remain competitive as a nation.

We believe that quality teaching goes hand-in-hand with knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination. Our academics bring their research to the classroom to ensure our students acquire high level skills and competencies informed by the latest developments. This means that as a GSBE student, you obtain practical and relevant skills that enable you to be competitive.

The uncertainties of the last decade have highlighted the need for our graduates to be problemsolvers, able to accept and respond to ambiguity, adapt to change, and view life as a continuing learning experience. Research-led teaching equips our graduates with those skills and attributes.

Professor Nasser Spear Deputy Dean and Director of the GSBE

It is a great honour to work with our world class academics, the brightest of students, alumni and other key stakeholders to further the ambitions of our Faculty.

Professor Paul Kofman Dean, Faculty of Business and Economics

The team of staff in the GSBE Student Centre are here to welcome you and support you during your studies. We pride ourselves on providing our students with a high standard of service and support including a targeted program of orientation and transition, ongoing course advice and a comprehensive suite of academic enrichment, careers services and professional development opportunities.

Why choose the Graduate School of Business and Economics?

When choosing a university in which to earn your degree, you want to know that at the end of your study, you can work anywhere in the world.

From this perspective alone, the University of Melbourne is a great choice. It is consistently ranked among the leading universities in the world, with its international peers placing it in the top 20 worldwide and employers placing it in the top 10. In the recent Times Higher Education rankings of the world’s top 200 universities, Melbourne ranked top in Australia and 37 in the world.

Melbourne’s membership of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities and Universitas 21, as well as involvement in other international business and cultural institutions like the Business Councils for China, India and Malaysia means its reputation precedes it.

The University of Melbourne is the first and only Australian university to rank in the Top 100 of the Business and Economics subject ranking in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Rankings, 2011.

The Faculty of Business and Economics ranked third in Accounting and Finance and fifth for Economics and Econometrics in the Asia-Pacific region, in the 2012 QS World University Rankings by subject. The University of Melbourne also ranked 4th globally in the Employer Reputation index, which measures employer perceptions of graduate quality. The Faculty is home to 220 academic staff who are active researchers in all our main disciplines.

Staff publish their research widely in leading international and Australian journals and present frequently at international conferences. They are editors and board members of prominent journals and also organise international research conferences at the University.

At the most recent Australian Research Council Excellence in Research assessment, our Faculty received the highest number of 5 star ratings in Australia for Economics & Commerce and Management disciplines.

Professional Accreditation and Recognition The Faculty of Business and Economics is AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accredited in both business and accounting, becoming the first business school in Victoria to achieve this feat. This confirms its stance as a world-leading business school, joining institutions such as the London Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

The Master of Management (Accounting) is accredited by CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

The Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting is accredited with the Institute of Chartered Accountants and may also enable admission to the CPA Program. For both professional bodies, admission will depend upon the undergraduate and graduate subjects a student completes.

To satisfy accreditation requirements for either professional body, students will need to have completed at the undergraduate or graduate level the equivalent 12 subjects that comprise the 150 point Master of Management (Accounting) on page 10.

The Master of Finance covers 70% of all three levels of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge topics, the CFA Institute ethical and professional standards and other CFA Program Partner requirements.

On successful completion of the Master of Actuarial Science, students who have performed at a high level will be eligible for exemption from all of the subjects comprising Part I of the professional requirements of the Actuaries Institute.

Accounting in today’s business world is extremely sophisticated.

Accounting studies will equip you to understand the financial structure of an organisation, and produce and analyse financial information.

Master of Accounting (12 and 16 subject) 12 subject: CRICOS 037945A 16 subject: CRICOS 054183G

The Master of Accounting is an advanced, specialised degree for accountants. It provides a broad understanding of the key contemporary issues in accounting and develops a set of specific competencies representing advanced professional skills.

Yun Liu (Taiwan) “Compared to undergraduate study, my graduate course in accounting focuses more on case studies. The assignments require deeper analysis of real business issues. I have learnt more about forecasting stock market and analyzing a company’s financial report through the subjects Financial Statement Analysis and Accounting Information and Security Valuation.

I have also participated in the Global Business Practicum to Mumbai in January this year. The experience was amazing! I saw and experienced a completely different culture. The consulting project that I got to work on was insightful since it is a very ‘live’ project concerning the whole nation’s identity program.”

Lauren Zoric (Australia) “Grappling with business and marketing issues in class that are taken from real life examples instills confidence – you are able to use your own work experience to consolidate the knowledge gained from weekly readings and class discussions.

Being able to identify and have confidence talking about theories and methodologies, as then apply them practically to real world issues and problems is so useful. I have a greater overview of marketing ideas, which complements the pragmatic experience I have had in my working life.”

Applications and Further Information For further information or to apply for these programs please visit: www.gsbe.unimelb.edu.au/execed

Mark Hawkins, Master of Enterprise (EXECUTIVE) “I recently found myself faced with a very difficult and complex strategic decision to make, which would have significant ramifications for the company. Before I did the Master of Enterprise, I would never have coped so well with the challenges I faced. However, I used the methods I had learnt to create models and ‘see’ the outcomes of my decision options. It was wonderful to have so much clarity in my thinking. In the end, the decision almost made itself.

The process was as valuable as the outcome. Going through the process forced me to ask many questions that I might never have asked; it forced me to think about things in ways in which I may never have thought. Upon reflection, it is actually amazing to me, how much I called on the skills and information I had gained from the Master of Enterprise course. Thank you to all of the professors who were such terrific teachers in what was an incredible and invaluable program.”

Mark Hawkins is the CEO of Australian Media Group. He completed the Master of Enterprise (Executive) in 2011.

Jacqueline Wong (Hong Kong) “Knowing that Australian employers are looking for allrounders, I strived to balance my academic studies with extra-curricular activities, such as piano and student clubs. The University also has strong relationships with employers. Together with the Careers Centre, this makes it easier for us graduates to seek employment” Jacqueline studied the Master of Finance and is currently an Institutional Banking Graduate at ANZ, where she is responsible for analysing the financials of institutional clients and studying client industry prospects.

Industry Engagement The GSBE offers a range of opportunities for our students to gain ‘out of the classroom’ participation and practical experience. Activities can be undertaken locally, nationally or internationally and the knowledge and skills complement students’ course of study. Opportunities include: Practicums

Internships

Volunteering

We offer our students a unique suite of programs which sets us apart from other Australian business schools: the Global Business Practicum (GBP), the Melbourne Business Practicum (MBP) and the Volunteer Business Practicum (VBP). In teams, students are assigned to a host company to undertake a real business project, experiencing culture, society and real-life business practices first hand whilst applying their academic skills. GBP destinations include Singapore, Shanghai, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur and organisations who have participated in the practicums include Cadbury, KPMG, Kraft, Committee for Melbourne, NAB and various not-for-profit organisations in rural and regional Australia.

Internships are offered at a variety of organisations and industry sectors.

Each internship is formulated to provide students with valuable experience, introducing challenges and opportunities faced in the working world. Depending on the needs and resources of the employing organisation, internships can last varying lengths of time, are paid at least a minimum wage, and may lead to continuing work.

Students can apply during any time of their graduate studies for casual volunteer opportunities, which involve un-paid volunteer activity with a not-for-profit organisation. Students engage in a supportive role, undertaking professionally relevant, complimentary or enhancing tasks to assist in the running of the organisation. NonGovernment Organisations (NGOs) such as World Vision, Brotherhood of St Laurence and the Salvation Army host volunteer programs. Employers favourably view applicants who can demonstrate contribution of their skills to socially supportive organisations. For international students, it is an excellent way to improve communication skills, interact and build networks in the Australian community.

The University of Melbourne was ranked 4th globally in the QS Employer Reputation Index 2010-2011, which surveys employers on quality of graduates.

Fei Zhu (China) “The Business Practicum is a very unique part of the GSBE. It is an eye-opening opportunity. I got the chance to meet industry professionals, learn about local business cultures, apply knowledge to solving a real business case, and gain some working experience. The Career Mentoring Program was also really helpful. My mentor works in the banking industry, and he gave me many tips in job seeking and career planning.”

Fei is studying the Master of Management (Finance). She has participated in the MBP, a for-credit subject which involved working on a real-life project at Ernst & Young.

She has also been heavily involved in extra-curricular activities, including the GSBE SA, and has been a student host and member of the Graduate Ambassador Team.

Without trying to sound clichéd I have ‘broadened my horizons’ academically, professionally and socially. Upon return I believe the experience enhanced my employability and was highlighted in my introduction as I started recently with a local organisation.

Most importantly the exchange allowed me to create an international network of friends for which I will be ever grateful to the city of Milan for acting as the perfect backdrop to let these friendships blossom.”

Sporting Capital

Joseph Lim

Amongst all our artistic and cultural credentials, Melbourne is also undoubtedly Australia’s sporting capital. Across the year the city plays host to major events such as the Australian Open (Asia Pacific’s only Grand Slam tournament), the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the glamorous Melbourne Cup Carnival. Melbourne is also the birthplace of Australian Rules Football (AFL).

“I moved to Melbourne because it felt like home to me. People are always so nice to one another and it is a city where you can always feel safe in whatever you do. There is a lot of fun things to do apart studying and I like to explore many places around here in my spare time. Living here you experience an urban and metropolitan city but at the same time it is a very relaxed atmosphere.”

Our landmark building offers a range of services and facilities, state of the art technology, and the highest standards in learning environments. The building was one of the first Green Star rated education facilities in Australia.

Joseph is studying the Master of Management (Finance), and is currently the President of the GSBE Student Association.

He is originally from Malaysia, and after finishing his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering decided to stay on in Melbourne for graduate studies.
