EconoMate Program

EconoMates are current Economics second or third year students who remember what the first few weeks of Uni were like. You can ask them all the questions you have about Uni, such as the differences between Year 12 and Uni, why they decided to do Economics, what Uni life is really like, what electives they did and why and if they enjoyed them. The Economates can be contacted anytime at the induction session or via email for up to the first 6 weeks of semester.

The EconoMates will also be attending some of the Uni Step activities during the first six weeks of Semester, Economics Social Events and also events put on by the Economics Student Association and throughout the beginning of the semester. A timetable of events is listed below (bottom of the page) and will be updated shortly.

You may see the EconoMates around campus or at the Social events - you will be abel to pick them by their bright purple lanyards.

Please contact the Economics Course Adviser if you have any questions.
