Master of Economics

Enhance your understanding of the way the world works, from the stock market to national economies and the world economy. Undertake a graduate certificate to be at the forefront of economic research and decision-making in the government or private sectors, or continue to a Master of Economics for a higher level of advanced econometrics, international trade and public policy expertise.

Graduates can expect to find work in government agencies at the local, state and federal levels, as well as opportunities in the private sector including banks, consultancy companies, international agencies, insurance companies and the finance industry.

As an economist, you could assess the implications of global economic trends on the Australian economy, regional economies or individual industries. In the area of applied economics, you might conduct research and analysis of global and local events for federal agencies such as the Treasury, Reserve Bank of Australia, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and Productivity Commission.
