1. Be at the forefront of making real-world impact
The Bachelor of Economics (BEc) will provide you with a lens to see and analyse the world critically. In an age where content is everywhere and fact-checking is scarce, the ability to reflect and form coherent arguments addressing our most pressing issues is extremely valuable.
The study of economics is a hallway to understanding the factors at play that shape our society. From the nitty-gritty at the individual level to understanding decision making at the local and national level, to learning about the international markets. Our courses will harness you with the knowledge to seek out solutions that address challenges of our time such as climate change and inequality.
2. Join the ranks of Australia’s most employable
