Bachelor of Economics

Economists study the world through the analysis of decision-making in households, businesses and broader society. They examine details and put pieces together, always striving to understand the 'big picture'. Armed with these insights, economists can give expert advice on business strategy, understand the background behind the news, influence public policy for a better world, and make informed personal financial decisions.

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

There are also opportunities for professional internships in Adelaide, other Australian cities and overseas.
