You can choose to complete a major
If you are completing a Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance or Master of Applied Finance, you can choose to complete a Major in a particular area of professional practice, so you can tailor your qualification to meet your specific career goals. This involves ensuring the electives you undertake sit under the relevant area of professional practice.
You are not required to complete a major. In fact many students choose to study with KOHE because of the flexibility it offers students to choose subjects that interest them, across all areas of professional practice.
