Course overview

Through economics, you can follow your passion and shape the world.

Our Bachelor of Economics offers a pathway to major in in either Industry, Policy and Business Strategy or Society and Environment. Both teach you how to better understand the world around you.

Graduating, you’ll be able to frame problems through an economics lens, to critically analyse data, and to generate knowledge and innovative recommendations that support policy and practice. You’ll develop these skills though real-world learning experiences like corporate internships, report writing, multidisciplinary teamwork, and industry case studies.

  • Make a difference with your career. Help solve the economic and financial challenges of the future.
  • Learn from leading experts whose links with industry, professional associations, other academics and government ensure that their teaching remains contemporary and relevant.
  • Real-world learning. Enrich your degree through hands-on learning experiences: corporate internships, report writing, multidisciplinary teamwork, and the use of industry case studies in the classroom.
  • Be rewarded in the workplace. Enter the workforce with the analytical and communication skills highly valued by industry and government.
