Bachelor of Economics

Economic issues are inherent in our everyday lives. Economics affects us as consumers, employees, producers, investors, manufacturers, carers and much more. As members of society, we need to be able to make informed decisions about the optimal allocation of our limited resources.

The Bachelor of Economics will arm you with the integrated problem-solving and data analysis skills to tackle this challenge. You’ll develop industry-relevant capabilities from day one through work-integrated learning that prepares you for diverse job prospects, such as consultant, policy analyst, economist, loans offer or risk analyst. And by combining the degree with a second in a high-demand field such as actuarial studies, applied finance, business analytics, commerce or law – or by pursuing a second major in a complementary or entirely different area – you’ll gain a powerful mix of skills and knowledge that broadens your expertise and enhances your career prospects.
