OUR DISCIPLINES

09

Our disciplines ACCOUNTING

The University of Melbourne has taught accounting since 1925 and has built a strong reputation as a premier educator in the field. Today, the Department of Accounting proudly maintains and enhances that reputation. As Australia’s leading accounting department, it attracts high calibre academic staff and students. Accounting in today’s business world is extremely sophisticated. An accountant is a strategic adviser and business partner who must have an in-depth understanding of business issues and processes, as well as the skills necessary for sound decisionmaking. Accounting studies will equip you to understand the financial structure of an organisation, and produce and analyse financial information. ACTUARIAL SCIENCE

Actuarial studies is a discipline well-known for its quantitative aspects and mathematical rigour. A graduate qualification in this area can offer real competitive advantages in today’s financial services industry. An Actuary’s work is based upon a multi-disciplinary background of mathematics, statistics, demography, finance and economics. The Centre for Actuarial Studies is located within the Department of Economics. The Centre is one of the six teaching units that are fully accredited by the Actuaries Institute. Members of the Centre undertake research in insurance, superannuation, financial mathematics and related areas. Our actuarial programs are firmly established and conducted by academics respected in their fields. ECONOMICS

Economics provides skills in problem solving for business and government. it examines ways to understand

what happens in markets, the performance of national economies and approaches for analysing and interpreting data. Ultimately, economics facilitates better decision making about the myriad of problems you will confront in the commercial world or in government.

In addition to a solid grounding in finance theory, students can gain practical knowledge from industry professionals engaged by the department to teach in selected subjects.

Economics students at MBS reap the benefits of studying with the leading economics department in Australia. Subjects are taught by some of the world’s best economists – scholars whose research places them at the forefront of their discipline and who regularly advise government and international agencies. The Department of Economics has several dedicated research units attracting local and overseas academics, and continually pushes the boundaries of knowledge in the fields of economics and econometrics. The Faculty of Business and Economics is also home to the Melbourne Institute, Australia’s leading and longest standing research institute in the field of economics.

Management focuses on how organisations operate – what they do, their employment practices, ways of managing and their business strategies. It is the process of achieving organisational goals and demands an understanding of the economic, social and environmental context.

FINANCE

Financial markets, products and practices are fast-evolving, posing challenges for practitioners who must keep pace with increasingly complex products. Finance programs at MBS have been designed to prepare students for these professional demands by blending the best of academic knowledge and professional practice. Finance programs at MBS are developed and taught by academics from the Department of Finance, one of the few Australian university departments exclusively committed to this discipline. The Department is internationally recognised for its world standard research, research training, and undergraduate and postgraduate education in the discipline. The global relevance of its curriculum is evidenced by its program partnership with the CFA Institute.

MANAGEMENT

At MBS the Management discipline encompasses specialised areas including consulting, human resource management, operations management and managing businesses and organisations. Our Management programs are taught by some of the finest Australian and international academics acclaimed for their innovative teaching and engaging subject matter. MARKETING

Marketing is about understanding customer needs, resources and networks to create value for the customer and for the organisation. MBS marketing graduates are known for their perceptive understanding of business issues, skilful communication and strong leadership. Graduates are employed in a variety of industries, including in communication and customer strategy, international business, consulting and analysis. Marketing programs at MBS are designed and taught by academic staff known for their top-tier research and high-quality teaching performance. Many consult to businesses, government and within the corporate sector.
