Testimonial from graduate who had engineering background
Tomas Vasquez - Associate Analyst, Small/Mid Caps, ABN AMRO Australia
"Macquarie’s Master of Applied Finance Program has certainly helped my career progression. I decided to change my career from Engineer to Finance, and I was looking for a postgraduate qualification which could assist me to find a job in the finance sector. With lectures based on industry experience, the course materials were practical and directly relevant to the real market place. In addition, it was a great networking opportunity for me to meet Australian students who were already working in Australian finance sector."
