UQ is one of a select few universities in Australia to offer the Bachelor of Economics. With more than 70 teaching and research staff, our School of Economics is Queensland’s most experienced and largest.

 

This degree will help you answer questions such as:

• How can economies protect themselves against climate change?
• What are the benefits of free trade, and do economic sanctions work?
• How can the government encourage innovation?

 

Initially, you'll develop core economic skills through a set of compulsory courses. Then you'll study either econometrics or how economics shapes areas such as public policy, business and industry, trade and the environment.

 

When you graduate, you'll be in high demand. You could work as an analyst, adviser, consultant, economist or researcher across a diverse range of industries.

 

Our past graduates have worked in areas including consulting, infrastructure, environmental management, international finance, investment and trade, natural resources, health, treasury and statistics.
