The Bachelor of Economics is all about exploring the principles our economy is built on, and analysing decisions in a commercial context. Learn to think analytically, solve problems logically, and make informed commercial decisions.

Economics is the science of decision-making and the key to unlocking how the world works – from the consumption of goods and services, to changes in employment rates or living standards. Economics is at the heart of how society operates and it impacts how we spend, save, work and live.

In a Bachelor of Economics, you’ll learn how to use data to make better business decisions, study the impact of individual economic choices, and build an in-depth understanding of the way local, national and global economies function.

You’ll study a broad range of areas – such as human behaviour, development, policy and business – and learn to bring this information together to form valuable insights.

With a strong understanding of how decisions affect individuals, organisations and governments, you’ll be in a better position to influence change at all levels of society. The latest economic theories and analytical tools will also allow you to identify and communicate the impact of government policies, both domestically and on a global scale.

This degree will give you an analytical skill set. You can further focus your study by following one of two streams: Economics and economic policy, or Mathematical economics and econometrics.

Economics and economic policy: Understand the bigger economic picture – from how goods and services are consumed, to changes in employment rates. You’ll learn to apply economic theories and analytical tools to the economy, and identify the effects of domestic and international government policies.
Mathematical economics and econometrics: If you’re more interested in the numbers behind the economic theories, this stream could be the one for you. You’ll learn how to analyse and interpret econometric and mathematical data, and apply your findings in a range of contexts, including financial investment, production, taxes, and government expenditure and policies.
