Master of Finance - Financial Planning (DMFP)


Course Details

This program is recognised as an approved program by Financial Adviser Standards, The Treasury1. and will equip you with the education requirements to practise as a qualified financial adviser. We’ve worked closely with industry to develop our course content, and regularly consult with Treasury to ensure your Graduate Diploma meets the most up-to-date industry standards. Our Master of Finance (Financial Planning) is best suited to new entrants with a non-relevant degree.* Depending on your previous qualification/s, you may also be eligible to apply for credit or Advanced Standing, which means you could potentially finish your degree sooner, saving you both time and money. If you do not meet the entry requirements for the master’s program but have industry experience in a related financial services role, you can use our Graduate Certificate in Financial Planning as a direct entry pathway.

Qualification: Master Degree (By Coursework)

Course structure: 72 units.

Under new national regulations, anyone seeking to practice as a financial planner will need to study a FASEA approved program from January 2019. All financial planners currently working in industry will need to complete a FASEA approved program by 2024 in order to continue practising. Students who do meet the entry requirements for the masters program but have relevant industry experience, can use the UniSA Graduate Certificate in Financial Planning as a direct entry pathway.
