Bachelor of Commerce (Economics)

Curtin University

Become an expert in analysing and influencing how wealth is created, consumed and distributed. Economists study more than just money – they analyse the world around them, from global markets to government policy to world events, to help make informed decisions in diverse industries. These decisions can impact how individuals and society access, consume and distribute wealth.With a focus on applied economics, this major gives you the knowledge and skills to understand important real-world issues such as unemployment, inequality, housing affordability, climate change and energy challenges.You will learn how to use big data, statistics, mathematics and business insights to evaluate trends and patterns in consumer spending, levels of competition in different industries, business cycles and financial crises.Economics gives you the tools to think analytically, make decisions and create solutions. You’ll gain a solid foundation in macroeconomics (factors that impact an economy as a whole) and microeconomics (the function of individual markets). You’ll also develop strong communication and interpersonal skills to successfully share complex data with a general audience. You’ll graduate from this course as a critical thinker with a keen understanding of the world and the ability to enhance economic activities in the public and private sectors.
