Bachelor of Commerce with a Major in Economics

About

Economists understand complicated economic and social processes, inform businesses and governments on how best to use scarce resources, and contribute to the development of economic policies to ensure economic prosperity.

The Economics major provides an excellent education in the leading theories and concepts involved in modern economics. The quantitative and analytical skills you’ll acquire will enable you to understand how individuals make optimal economic decisions, how organisations operate in the global economy, and how governments respond to home and global economic challenges.
