Master of Applied Economics
The University Of Adelaide
Program Overview
Take on economic challenges
Economists analyse the decisions of individuals, governments and businesses and their impact on our lives and welfare.
Armed with these insights, they 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.
What will you do?
Our Master of Applied Economics is suited to students with or without prior knowledge in the field. You will:
- hone your understanding of incentives, opportunity costs, trade-offs, supply and demand, and efficiency
- apply economic concepts to a range of fields—from public policy and finance to international trade and natural resources
- practise advanced techniques for analysing and managing data
- explore economic growth and development and the organisation of markets.
Where could it take you?
Economics graduates go on to all sorts of exciting careers and research pathways. You might assess telecommunications mergers as an economic analyst, or reform regulatory frameworks for public forests as a policy officer with state government. You could work on the stock market, in an aid agency researching the best return on aid donations or in banking and financial services. Perhaps you’ll use your analytics and modelling skills to develop optimal strategies for efficient HR recruitment.
