About
Study at the intersection of traditional and contemporary economics. Our updated course content reflects the latest industry trends, informed by feedback from graduates and our network of industry partners. That means more real-world application, more streamlined learning and more opportunities to build niche expertise.
Become a systemic thinker and analyst extraordinaire with a degree that will prepare you for a remarkable career. You’ll combine fundamental economics subjects (including macro- and microeconomics, econometrics and behavioural economics) with core business capabilities (strategic decision-making, business statistics, economic policy evaluation) and the study of human economic decision-making.
But wait, there’s more: the UTS Business School is recognised as a leader in socially just business education, and the Bachelor of Economics is no different. You’ll explore the link between economics and social justice, including the impacts of economic policy on equity, equality and sustainable development, and emerge ready to do good in your chosen career.
At UTS, there’s no such thing as a purely theoretical degree. In your last semester of study, you’ll complete a capstone project that will challenge you to tackle a real-world economic policy problem.
