Bachelor of Economics
The University of Adelaide
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00123M
Economists study the world through the analysis of decision-making in households, businesses and broader society. They examine details and put pieces together, always striving to understand the 'big picture'. Armed with these insights, economists can give expert advice on business strategy, understand the background behind the news, influence public policy for a better world, and make informed personal financial decisions. Economics graduates go on to all sorts of exciting careers. You might be a high-stakes stockbroker, banker, or financial planner, a data analyst in a government agency or health economist with a pharmaceutical group. You could be a demand planner in a big wine company. Perhaps you'll end up working in journalism, foreign affairs or mobile game development.
