As only about half of the Bachelor of Economics program is made up of compulsory courses, it is possible to choose elective courses which will complement a specialisation in a particular area of economics, such as a focus on international or environmental economics.
The study plans
given are examples of pathways through this degree. For a complete description,
see the program rules.
Students who have not completed mathematics to at least SACE Stage 2 Mathematical Studies (or equivalent) must complete Mathematics for Economists I before attempting level II economics core courses. The course assumes no previous study of mathematics and covers topics relevant to economics undergraduates.

The Bachelor of Economics is designed primarily as an education for future managers and decision makers in all areas of the economy - private firms, government departments, consultancies and private and public interest groups. Economics graduates are employed by trading and merchant banks, stockbrokers, manufacturers and distributors, insurance companies, and a wide range of government organisations. Other options include journalism, teaching and international consulting.
After completion of an Honours or higher degree, graduates may call themselves a professional economist and usually work for companies, governments, international agencies, or as university lecturers. The Bachelor of Economics is also the first step for those who would like to take more advanced studies in economics and related fields.Market Researcher, Foreign Affairs, Political Advisor, Stockbroker, Business Consultant, Economic Researcher, Economist, Export / Import trade, Government or Corporate Policy Adviser, International Government and Trade Policy Adviser, International Trade or Business Analyst, Journalist, Accountant, Banker, Business Analyst, Business Data Analyst, Commodities or Futures Trader, Consultant, Development Officer, Diplomatic corps, Project Officer, Public Servant, Research Assistant, Environmental Consultant, Government officer
