Program Description

Learn from internationally respected academic staff about the analytical techniques to evaluate, influence and develop effective public policy, and how to apply economics to make a positive difference in our increasingly globalised world.
The Master of Economics and Public Policy is an interdisciplinary program that examines the complex relationship between public policy, governance and economics. You’ll learn the latest economic research from world-class teaching staff, including how governments develop policy and how their intervention affects the global economy.  The program adopts a unique economics-first approach to public policy, allowing students with no prior economics knowledge to gain in-depth knowledge of economic concepts. Drawing on knowledge from the School of Economics and the School of Political Science, this program covers microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, political science, public policy and the contribution of economic analysis to public policy. You can choose to undertake a research component which may provide a pathway to a higher degree by research.  You’ll experience flexible, engaging, and real-world teaching that prepares you to actively contribute to the development of public policy within government departments, the public sector, inter-governmental organisations and consultancy. 

Program highlights

  • Explore international issues like the far-reaching impacts of economic policy, and how can we better understand the cost-benefit of migration.

  • Enjoy the flexibility of a study framework the balances compulsory prerequisites with elective study areas, including health economics and the dynamics of governance.
  • Study through a blended learning approach offering both online and face-to-face contact with teaching staff and peers.
