Master of Commerce (currently studying)

The Master of Commerce at the Australian Business School is a post-graduate business program that provides a general overview of the different areas in business and how they add value to the organisation. After completing several core and elective modules, students then choose a business discipline in which to complete their major. At the moment I am deciding between either Strategic Value Management (a mixture of Management Accounting and Economics) or Finance.

Subjects studied:
Business Communications Negotiation Skills
Ethics Management
Economics Information Systems
Marketing Accounting

BA Media & Communications (2000)

In addition to communications theory, the Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications) at UNSW was the first course of its kind to cover all aspects of content development and media production, with a particular emphasis on digital media and other emerging technologies.

Short Courses

I have also benefited from a number of short courses sponsored through my employers as part of their commitment to continuing education and development:

  • Modules I, II, III and IV of the Diploma of Financial Planning
    The recognised industry certification in Australian financial services
  • Performance Measures in Corporate Communications
    An intensive two-day master-class for corporate communicators on implementing effective measures and benchmarks for their activities. This class was taught by Professor Jim McNamara who is considered a thought-leader in this area.
  • 6-Sigma Demystified
    This course provided a high level overview of the Six Sigma methodology and Quality Management in general.
