MELBOURNE BUSINESS SCHOOL
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 decision-
making. 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.
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.
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.
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.
MANAGEMENT
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.
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.
