Economics explores how people, businesses, and governments make choices. In this course students study microeconomics, macroeconomics, and statistical tools for decision making such as benefit-cost analysis. This course allows exploration across various sub-fields of economics within majors and offers opportunities to tailor learning to specific interests and career goals through a wide selection of electives. Economics provides the skills to address complex global challenges, support informed decision-making, and influence policies that shape businesses, governments, and society. The conceptual and data analytical toolkits gained will open vast career opportunities in both the public and private sectors – economics is helpful in just about any industry. For more information, visit Bachelor of Economics at UQ.
