Economists study more than just money – they analyse the world around them, from global markets to government policy to world events, to help make informed decisions in diverse industries. These decisions can impact how individuals and society access, consume and distribute wealth.
With a focus on applied economics, this major gives you the knowledge and skills to understand important real-world issues such as unemployment, inequality, housing affordability, climate change and energy challenges.
You will learn how to use big data, statistics, mathematics and business insights to evaluate trends and patterns in consumer spending, levels of competition in different industries, business cycles and financial crises.
