About

The Master of Economics reputation for rigorous training in graduate economics - underlined by its research-active pedagogy - attracts outstanding students to the University. Influential economic policymakers in prominent organisations of national executive government (especially PM&C and Treasury) have found this course's focus on national policy issues very rewarding. Worth highlighting is this degree's accommodation of a focus on Australia's place in the region through coursework choices and research.

Admission criteria

Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met.

GPA calculation

ANU uses a 7-point grade point average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities.
