The Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) has confirmed the Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning from the University of New South Wales, offered from 1 July 2019, is now an approved degree.

Two bridging courses were also approved by FASEA from the university: Ethics for Professional Advisers and Behavioural Finance Advice.

FASEA’s review of the courses followed an application from the university and the approvals were recognition it aligned with FASEA’s required curriculum and standards.

The courses would be added to a future Degree, Qualifications and Courses legislative agreement.

Since 2017, 56 current bachelor or higher degrees, 73 historical courses and 35 bridging courses had been approved.

FASEA chief executive, Stephen Glenfield, said: “The approval of these additional courses builds on the body of courses approved by FASEA and provides additional choice to advisers seeking to meet the education standard”.
