Overview
The primary aim of the Master of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing is to produce students capable of successfully completing research or an intensive special studies project which results in a distinct contribution to knowledge in the anti-money laundering/counter terrorist financing field. Students will be capable of performing a range of research, policy and planning roles within the business compliance, regulatory, security, law enforcement and private sectors. Students will be expected to identify and research current issues impacting on their work environment and transform the findings of their research into 'best practice' policy. It will produce students with the ability to critically assess current policies and evaluate new and emerging trends in Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing practice. This program will engage students in a study of practical Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing methodologies, not only within Australia but throughout the world. Additionally, the program is for students to reflect on their learning and contribute to knowledge and/or practice in their discipline. The students will have an understanding of the existing knowledge in the field, and be aware of recent developments in theory and practice. They will also be able to apply this understanding to novel areas, and be able to justify and communicate their conclusions to a range of audiences.
