Specialisation
The Economics specialisation within the Master of Commerce and Master of Commerce (Extension) builds a clear understanding of the overall context of business and government. The core units, with their strong focus on social data and events give graduates the competitive edge in areas of analysis and policy work.
The School of Economics at the University of Sydney is one of the important training grounds for economists in the region. The Economics specialisation includes an in-depth analysis of microeconomics and macroeconomics, investigating market structure and strategic business decisions. An international focus on money and finance is paramount in keeping up-to-date with the globalised nature of contemporary economics.
The Economics specialisation provides essential perspectives on international economics, industrial competitiveness, as well as trade and development and bank management.
