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 strategic choices about resource distribution and priority-setting in our ever-evolving world. The University of New England's Master of Economics program is expertly designed to enhance your analytical capabilities and specialized knowledge, preparing you to address contemporary economic issues and propel your professional growth. Whether your interest lies in economic growth, agricultural and resource economics, or performance measurement, our program will strengthen your economic expertise. You can either broaden your existing economics knowledge or explore new areas within the discipline.
This program is ideal if you possess an undergraduate degree with a relevant specialization or a graduate diploma in a related field and wish to further your understanding. It's equally suitable if you come from a non-economics background but want to acquire specialized economic knowledge. Our faculty brings extensive research and teaching experience in economics, agricultural/resource economics, econometrics, and economic history, with notable achievements in interdisciplinary studies. We focus on generating practical, data-driven insights that create tangible, sustainable advantages for regional, national, and international partners.
