Overview

Bachelor of Social and Economic Policy (Economic Policy)

The Bachelor of Social and Economic Policy (Economic Policy) at the University of Canberra will help you explore the most important and complex social, business and government policy issues; matters made all the more poignant when analysed from a unique location at the heart of the country’s socio-economic policy making in Canberra. 

The degree provides a major grounding in economics and sociology. 

Still, it offers flexibility in terms of subject areas explored, meaning you can study disciplines such as political science and international relations, law, justice studies, business, commerce or management.

The course focuses on developing intuition and critical thinking and aims at producing well-rounded graduates with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 

You’ll become equipped with quantitative, research and policy-relevant tools directly used in the market and valued by prospective employers. 

By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a confident understanding of real-world policy issues and their economic solutions and will be prepared for either further study in the form of a Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) or a career in the corporate or regulatory sectors and beyond.

Work Integrated Learning

The structure and content of this degree have been informed by the needs of employers and industry specialists, making it relevant to successful employment and career outcomes. 

It includes Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities in the form of internships, professional practice units, capstone projects, networking and Study Abroad opportunities. 

The National Centre for Socio-Economic Modelling (NATSEM) is one of the University’s most renowned multidisciplinary research centres. 

You’ll have opportunities to become involved in high-profile socio-economic research if you’re keen to explore a research-led route.

Potential internship opportunities are being explored with high-profile employers, including The Treasury, the Department of Employment and KPMG.
