About
The Bachelor of Economics Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment offers students the analytical and quantitative skills required for an in-depth understanding of key economic principles and the multidisciplinary knowledge of sustainability required to operate within the green economy.
Subjects in the Bachelor of Economics provide training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics as well as other economics fields with an emphasis on practical policy. Students appreciate that economics is about social welfare, which is the wellbeing of all members of society.
