Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSocSc) in Economics
Program Available at Hamilton Campus
Studying Economics will help you see the world in a different light and understand how to apply this new perspective to help resolve issues in our society. You'll learn how to help people, governments and businesses make better decisions about using natural and financial resources to meet different goals.
Economists contribute to government decision-making on many different issues, such as shaping new laws and taxes or advising on international trade agreements. They can also be involved in recommending incentives and penalties geared towards changing people's behavior, such as encouraging people to leave their cars at home.
You'll learn how to explain the reasons for different market structures, analyze the implications of government policy, anticipate how people might react to price changes, and demonstrate the gains from trade.
