This allows you to shape concentrations in areas of interest such as macroeconomics, or in areas of applied economic policy.The Bachelor of Economics provides undergraduate training in theoretical and applied aspects of modern economics, econometrics and financial economics.

Economics is crucial to understanding and solving the major problems and challenges the world faces today, such as global warming, poverty, development, and recession.
