Economics is the science of decision-making and the key to unlocking how the world works – from the consumption of goods and services, to changes in employment rates or living standards. Economics is at the heart of how society operates and it impacts how we spend, save, work and live.

In a Bachelor of Economics, you’ll learn how to use data to make better business decisions, study the impact of individual economic choices, and build an in-depth understanding of the way local, national and global economies function.

You’ll study a broad range of areas – such as human behaviour, development, policy and business – and learn to bring this information together to form valuable insights.

With a strong understanding of how decisions affect individuals, organisations and governments, you’ll be in a better position to influence change at all levels of society. The latest economic theories and analytical tools will also allow you to identify and communicate the impact of government policies, both domestically and on a global scale.
