Is a Bachelor of Economics for me?
Untitled Document
"Studying Economics gives you a more holistic approach to thinking about real world issues and solving problems than probably any other course of study.
This method of thinking can be very successfully used across many different types of roles in business and government and is seen as being of considerable value by many employers for both technical and management
jobs.
This way of thinking, along with the specific knowledge picked up as part of an Economics Degree, is why there are so many people with Economics Degrees in quite different senior roles across Australia and internationally."
