The Master of Economics at UWA is designed for students who plan to pursue careers as economic researchers and decision-makers in the public or private sectors.
The course attracts people employed by the public service and private enterprise, as well as teachers already holding a Bachelor of Economics who seek to improve their professional qualifications through postgraduate studies.
Topics covered include microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, financial economics, resource economics, public economics, quantitative economics, economic history and economic development.
Students need to take up core units offering practical skills such as programming, data interpretation, and communicating economic information.
The course then introduces fundamental principles of economics, research methods and evaluation techniques in economics and the application of economic analysis methods to inform policy.
Students must take all core units and then choose at least one field of specialisation among multiple cognate streams of specialisation offered such as economic research by dissertation, and coursework streams on advanced topics in economics, applied economics, financial economics, and health economics.
Students will also be offered the option of undertaking an experiential learning unit on work-integrated practical learning or service learning experience.
