Bachelor of Economics
The world’s commercial and political systems affect the quality of life and standard of living of every single person on the planet. If you would like to play a part in the workings of these systems, and have an impact on their outcomes, the University of Western Sydney’s Bachelor of Economics is the ideal choice.
Through challenging units in microeconomics, macroeconomics, globalisation and Australia, economic methods and the history of economic thought, the UWS Bachelor of Economics teaches you that there are many ways to ‘think economically’ – whether for business, government or policy. It covers the full spectrum of political views, and addresses the variety of technical ways in which an economy may be analysed.
Evening classes are available for most units at Parramatta campus.
