Bachelor of Economics in Macroeconomics and Financial Markets
Program Overview
Economics is an influential social science that explores human behaviour and decision-making, with a focus on the roles played by incentives, resource constraints, laws, customs, and institutions. When you study the Bachelor of Economics at UNSW, you’ll explore how the decisions of institutions and individuals interact to determine outcomes for the economy and society.
As a graduate of economics, your distinct insights can be applied broadly. Through this degree, you'll gain highly transferable analytical skills that are valuable in a diverse range of careers. In addition to more traditional economic issues like unemployment, taxation, and trade policy, economics allows you to understand and address human challenges like inequality, climate change, corruption, political polarisation, and impediments to education and health care.
Major: Macroeconomics and Financial Markets
The major in Macroeconomics and Financial Markets will give you an understanding of both macroeconomics and the workings of the financial markets. On the macroeconomic side, you will learn how the economy functions at an aggregate level and how governments manage economies to preserve stability and provide optimal conditions for economic growth and flourishing. On the financial economics side, you will gain an understanding of how financial instruments are priced in markets and how individuals and firms manage financial risk.
Macroeconomic variables like the unemployment rate, the exchange rate, and export/import levels are key inputs to government policy-setting in Australia and the world. You will learn how these measures are generated, how to interpret them, and how governments use them to craft healthy economic markets and societies, for example via fiscal and monetary policy.
