- Gain a global outlook by analysing international markets, policies, and emerging economic trends, equipping you to thrive in an evolving global economy.
Where this degree takes you
Economics graduates enter the workforce with strong earning potential. In Australia, where you'll complete the final terms of the program and graduate, entry-level economists earn between AUD 62,500-74,700, rising to AUD 98,000-103,000 with experience, and higher in senior roles.
Your Australian degree opens doors across banking, government, consulting, data analytics, and research—sectors actively hiring economics graduates for roles in policy analysis, financial modelling, market research, and strategic planning.
The combination of quantitative skills, global perspective, and practical experience positions you competitively whether you're job-hunting in Sydney, pursuing a master's degree, or exploring opportunities back home
