Bachelor of Economics

About the course The study of economics is fundamentally about how societies deal with the scarcity of our resources. Behind that statement though lies a social science that has important contributions to make across and between an enormous range of disciplines – from history and politics, through to mathematics, philosophy, public policy, finance and the sciences. This Combined Bachelor and Master (CBM) course gives students the opportunity to be involved in a program that not only has breadth across these different disciplines, but significant depth as well. Over the course of your studies, you will be exposed to the latest micro- and macro-economic theories, covering both domestic and global markets. A further key component of the program involves applying this theoretical knowledge to important historical and current issues across both developed and developing economies. The theoretical, applied and data analytics training students will receive over the course of this programme will provide students with skills that are highly valued in the workplace by both private and public institutions. Over a long and proud history, our graduates have gained employment across a wide range of areas – from highly sought-after and competitive places with the Reserve Bank of Australia and Treasury, through to large financial institutions. Across the board, employers value graduates who not only have significant technical knowledge, but also have the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are a feature of an economist’s training here at UWA.
