Economics plays a crucial role in shaping business operations, government policies, and societal structures. Decision-makers across all sectors must grasp how global political and commercial systems interact economically, while accounting for quality of life, resource limitations, and environmental factors. Economic experts offer valuable perspectives that guide choices regarding action priorities and resource distribution in our ever-evolving world. The University of New England's Master of Economics program is ideally designed to enhance your professional capabilities and sharpen your analytical abilities to address contemporary economic issues and propel your career forward. Whether your interest lies in economic growth, agricultural and natural resource economics, or performance and productivity assessment, our program will broaden your economic understanding and competencies. You have the option to either build upon your existing economics background or explore new economic specializations.
This program caters to individuals with an undergraduate degree in a relevant field or a graduate diploma in a related discipline seeking to broaden their expertise. It's equally suitable for those with non-economic backgrounds who wish to acquire specialized knowledge in this area. Our faculty boasts extensive research and teaching experience in economics, agricultural and resource economics, applied econometrics, and economic history. We also maintain a robust tradition of interdisciplinary research. Our objective is to generate practical, data-driven insights that create tangible, commercially viable, and sustainable advantages for regional, national, and international partners.
