The Master of Economics and Public Policy is an interdisciplinary program that examines the complex relationship between public policy, governance and economics. You’ll learn the latest economic research from world-class teaching staff, including how governments develop policy and how their intervention affects the global economy. The program adopts a unique economics-first approach to public policy, allowing students with no prior economics knowledge to gain in-depth knowledge of economic concepts. Drawing on knowledge from the School of Economics and the School of Political Science, this program covers microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, political science, public policy and the contribution of economic analysis to public policy. You can choose to undertake a research component which may provide a pathway to a higher degree by research.
