BFGGC3300 Fundamentals of Financial Derivatives
"The Australian derivatives market is one of the largest and most dynamic in the world. The main futures contracts traded on the Sydney Futures Exchange are amongst the most liquid asset classes in the world. This unit provides students with an understanding of how these markets work and how they can be used. Topics include institutional aspects of financial derivatives markets, the use of (and factors affecting) option prices in equity, currency and interest rate markets, and the pricing of and uses of futures, forward contracts and swaps and new financial derivatives in Australia.

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
