HI,You have a fair few options regarding where you want to do the course in Australia, though none of the places I am aware of will grant you an MSc. Most Places it is either an MCom with a specialisation in Finance or a MAppFin - Master of Applied Finance.MCom your options should be ( the top few courses)1) University of New South Wales2) University of Melbourne3) University of SydneyThey range around $14000 AUDMAppFin your options should be1) Macquarie University ( I have been told that this is the best course in Australia of this kind)2) Unversity of Melbourne3) University of New South Wales4) University of SydneyAgain this may cost around $16000 - $20000The quality of these courses is supposed to be quite good, though living in Sydney is more expensive than living in Melbourne. In terms of international recognition, most of these unis have a good standing, though not as high as your LBS or LSE etc.. Hope this helps

I believe that the Macquarie one can also be done in Melbourne - and I have also heard that it is the best one.

I'm going through the Bond University (Gold Coast, QLD) MFin course and highly recommend it. Being a private uni it's at the higher end of cost scale however (around $32,000), but you've got small classes, 3 semesters per year, so you'll wrap it up quicker. It a pretty demanding schedule though. Email me direct if you'd like to know more detail.
