With the permission of your Specialisation Manger, students who have a background in finance may be exempt from the requirement to pass FINC 671, and may take instead an additional subject from the Master of Professional Studies schedule. Each degree will usually be completed over three to four years. There is no maximum time stipulated for completion of the overall programme but students are required to demonstrate satisfactory progress throughout. All subjects are offered on a part time basis with most contact sessions being scheduled between 5.30pm and 8.30pm on weekdays. Students require computing facilities that will allow access to information through the World Wide Web and Lincoln University network.
Some subjects require familiarity with spreadsheets.
Those without experience in this are recommended to take a basic spreadsheet course and to become familiar with the software installed on their computers.
