Program Overview

In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, those with superior technical skills in accounting, analytics, economics, finance, human resources, international business, management, marketing or supply chains, will find success as in-demand business professionals across an increasingly broad range of sectors.

The practical and flexible Master of Commerce builds on the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired through professional experience or undergraduate studies in commerce and business. It will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of all business functions alongside a set of well-regarded practical and transferable skills, including sustainable and ethical thinking, communication, problem solving, strategic thinking and teamwork. You’ll have the opportunity to develop new areas of expertise or advance your knowledge by completing one or two specialisations in key areas of demand.

Specialisation: Applied Economics
Economic decision making by governments, businesses and individuals can significantly impact our lives, behaviour and wellbeing. Applied economic analysis is an increasingly important field, requiring people who are skilled at analysing and interpreting economic data to inform decisions about everything from healthcare to financial policy, economic growth and development, natural resources and the environment, and the organisation and structure of markets.

The Applied Economics specialisation will develop your technical knowledge alongside your real-world problem-solving and decision-making skills, so that you’re well prepared to advance your career. You’ll study development economics, ecological economics, health economics and international trade. With an interdisciplinary focus, this specialisation will help you develop the capabilities to work in increasingly diverse fields that cross traditional discipline boundaries.
