Career opportunities

Employment opportunities in the financial services industry are increasing because of succession planning issues, an increase in the educational requirements for advisers, and an increase in the population of individuals that require financial advice. Graduates will be prepared for roles in the financial services industry (namely, banks, funds management and financial planning companies) in various positions including client services officer, para-planner, provisional financial adviser (additional work and training requirements are required to qualify as a financial adviser). You’ll also find opportunities in insurance and superannuation, futures, options and foreign exchange trading.
