About

Distinct from other degrees of its kind, the Master of Applied Economics places significant importance on context and the application of theory to solving real-world problems; and provides an opportunity for you to undertake interdisciplinary studies, recognising that applied economists work in increasingly diverse fields that cross traditional discipline boundaries.

In the Master of International Trade and Commerce Law, you’ll extend your knowledge of the legal, governance and policy issues relevant to international and domestic trade and commerce, so that you develop a broad and well-rounded understanding of the area, as well as skills to advance your career.
