About the course

The Economics specialisation builds a clear understanding of the overall context of business and government. The core units, with their strong focus on social data and events give graduates the competitive edge in areas of analysis and policy work.

　　The School of Economics at the University of Sydney is one of the important training grounds for economists in the region. The Economics specialisation includes an in-depth analysis of microeconomics and macroeconomics, investigating market structure and strategic business decisions. An international focus on money and finance is paramount in keeping up to date with the globalised nature of contemporary economics.

　　The Economics specialisation provides essential perspectives on international economics, industrial competitiveness, as well as trade and development and bank management.

　　Understand and address the world?s most pressing challenges, including war and peace, social and economic justice, poverty, development and environmental sustainability. Investigate relations among states and non-state actors, including the evolution of the international system. Develop sophisticated critical thinking through this intellectually rigorous, research-intensive program. The Master of International Relations allows you to specialise in Economics, Political Economy, Peace and Conflict Studies, Sociology, Social Policy and Development, or International Law. You will gain a deep understanding of complex problem solving in a globalised world. The Department of Government and International Relations is one of the largest of its kind in Australia, with links to some of the major policy think tanks in Australia, such as the Australian Institute of International Affairs, and the Lowy Institute. We also house the Centre for International Security Studies and the Electoral Integrity project. Our academics are recognised experts in international relations theory, public policy, international political economy and security, Australian and comparative politics, migration, and North and Southeast Asian politics.
