Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics

In this double degree you will learn to apply your thinking in a commercial capacity and develop the skills required to solve complex problems, while developing a depth of expertise in economics.This gives you a unique skill set. For example, economics provides the foundational understanding of finance and actuarial studies, but combined with majors in actuarial studies or finance you will have substantive knowledge across all three. Economics is the science of allocating scarce resources to maximise people's welfare. Economists study both the microeconomic decisions of individuals, business and government, and the macroeconomic behaviour of the economy as a whole. Two specialisations provide a professional education in economics: economics and economics policy, and mathematical economics and econometrics. Both specialisations are designed to encourage logical thought and detailed analysis of economic issues that can be adapted to a range of careers.[021276J]
