For economic innovators
Aspire to be a leader in business, policy or research?
The Bachelor of Economics (Advanced) is a uniquely structured and specialised degree for students who want to stand out in their field.
What will you do
Our Bachelor of Economics sets you up to understand and shape our economy's future. You will:
learn how to break down complex issues into resolvable questions
discover advanced techniques for analysing and managing data
study how maths and statistics are applied to economics
explore matters relating to the growth and stability of the whole economic system
investigate social issues such as inequality, housing affordability, environmental management and depleting natural resources.
Note: You must maintain a GPA of 5.0 or you’ll be required to transfer to the Bachelor of Economics. Conversely, if you initially enrol in the Bachelor of Economics you may be eligible to transfer into the advanced degree after one, two or three semesters if you achieve a high enough GPA.
Where could it take you
You might specialise in maths and statistics and become an econometrician, working in logistics and modelling transport infrastructure. You could write pioneering policy around education, taxation or mental health. Perhaps you’ll use behavioural economics to encourage people to recycle, or research the potential impacts of a universal basic income.
