About the course

Economics is the study of human behaviour related to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services, by means of markets, businesses or other institutions. As individuals, communities, companies and governments, we face choices every day, weighing up the costs and benefits of our decisions. This program provides the necessary skills to understand and explain how economic incentives and markets work, and how prices are formed. It provides strong statistical modelling and data analysis as well as an extensive conceptual toolkit to equip you to see the world through an economic lens. You will graduate with the skills, knowledge and abilities to think like an economist. Initially, you'll develop core economic skills through a set of compulsory courses. Then you'll study either econometrics or how economics shapes areas such as public policy, business and industry, trade and the environment. When you graduate, you'll be in high demand. You could work as an analyst, adviser, consultant, economist or researcher in a huge range of industries. Our past graduates have worked in areas including consulting, infrastructure, environmental management, international finance, investment and trade, natural resources, health, treasury and statistics.

　　With a strong mathematical and modelling focus, students are provided with the critical scientific techniques to successfully measure, analyse, project and model a diverse set of economic factors and scenarios. Graduates are equipped to facilitate better management decision-making, by providing economic analysis that is scientifically-based, verifiable and objective. You can select courses in the areas of econometrics, benefit/cost analysis, advanced mathematical economics, business and economic decision techniques, and experimental economics.
