Charles Sturt's Master of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing is offered online to give you the flexibility to fit study around your existing work, family or other commitments.
Developed with extensive industry consultation across law enforcement, intelligence, regulatory, banking and finance sectors, the Master of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing is the only course of its kind offered at an Australian university.
Depending on your existing qualifications and career aspirations, you can choose to complete a graduate certificate, graduate diploma or master's degree. If you've successfully completed the Association of Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) certification examination you'll be awarded 8 points of credit (equivalent to one standard Charles Sturt subject).
Established in 1993, Charles Sturt's Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security (AGSPS) is a leading provider of postgraduate research and education for professionals in law enforcement, emergency management and security. Charles Sturt's courses offered through AGSPS span a broad range of global issues that include international terrorism, intelligence analysis, transnational crime, fraud and financial crime, corruption, cyber-crime, and natural disaster management.
This course is for you if you're already working or wish to work in compliance, regulation, law enforcement, finance, banking and security fields in roles relating to the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. Gaining a qualification in this field will allow you to deepen your understanding of the discipline and seek higher level policy, planning, management and research positions in the field.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
