• Economics is an influential social science that explores human behavior and decision-making, with a focus on the roles played by incentives, resource constraints, laws, customs, and institutions.
  • When students study the Bachelor of Economics at UNSW, you’ll explore how the decisions of institutions and individuals interact to determine outcomes for the economy and society.
  • As a graduate of economics, their distinct insights can be applied broadly. Through this degree, they'll gain highly transferable analytical skills that are valuable in a diverse range of careers. 
  • In addition to more traditional economic issues like unemployment, taxation, and trade policy, economics allows students to understand and address human challenges like inequality, climate change, corruption, political polarisation, and impediments to education and health care.
