Bachelor of Economics

Why is something as superfluous as diamonds so costly but something as essential as water so cheap? How can the coffee beans cost make up only a few cents of the price of a coffee cup? With the world’s highest minimum wage rate, can Australia ever compete with low wage countries?

The Australian National University Bachelor of Economics provides a framework and a way of thinking to answer questions like these. Your coursework will span economics (both theory and applied), economic history, and econometrics while developing your analytical problem-solving and quantitative skills. Whether working as an economist or in some other role, your Bachelor of Economics degree and training will be sought after.
