Economics is an influential social science that explores human behaviour and decision-making. When you study the Bachelor of Economics at UNSW, you’ll learn how the decisions of institutions, businesses and individuals interact to determine outcomes for the economy and society.
This three-year degree develops your ability to analyse, evaluate and forecast complex economic and social trends using quantitative methods, data analysis and economic modelling. You’ll study key areas such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and behavioural economics, building the skills to interpret data and apply insights to public policy, business strategy and global issues.
In addition to more traditional economic issues like unemployment, taxation and trade policy, economics allows you to understand and address global societal challenges like inequality, climate change, corruption, political polarisation and impediments to education and health care. You’ll also learn how to address key business issues such as competition and market strategy, pricing, innovation, risk, management and understanding consumer behaviour.
As a graduate of economics, your distinct insights can be applied very broadly. You’ll gain highly transferable analytical and problem-solving skills that are valuable in a wide and highly diverse range of careers. Potential career paths span economic consulting, financial markets, policy advisory, business analytics, strategy and operations roles in major firms, and policy positions in central banks and government agencies.
