Bachelor of Economics Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment

The Bachelor of Economics Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment offers students the analytical and quantitative skills required for an in-depth understanding of key economic principles and the multidisciplinary knowledge of sustainability required to operate within the green economy.


Subjects in the Bachelor of Economics provide training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics as well as other Economics fields with an emphasis on practical policy. Students appreciate that economics is about social welfare, which is the wellbeing of all members of society. It is enhanced by improving economic efficiency and by promoting equity, and in the long run, through sustainable development. Subjects in the Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment expand this study to the complexity of sustainability in the environmental, political, social, and cultural senses. It also provides depth of study on and practical engagement with different industry and professional applications of sustainability.

The course promotes an understanding of how institutional rules and incentives shape economic outcomes and provides knowledge of the economic, environmental, social and cultural sustainability through Economics and Sustainability specialisations, internship-like experiences and problem-based learning within the Economics and Sustainability and Environment subjects.
