Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Economics

Macquarie University

Summary

The Bachelor of Science is for those excited by discovery and who question the norm. You'll learn from world-renowned researchers who are addressing the big issues facing our global society, such as the changing environment, future materials and fuels, and biotechnology. You'll be able to study complementary disciplines or non-science units that feed your curiosity. And you'll be part of a community that has led many significant initiatives in recent years, including early climate change research, photonics, evolutionary biology and groundbreaking research in earth's crustal systems. The Bachelor of Economics will provide you with a sound understanding of today's complex economic environment and the skills to design economic systems that promote welfare, fairness and sustainability. You'll learn about how modern economies operate, trade and grow; the role of prices and markets in allocating scarce resources; and the sorts of policy interventions that can be introduced when economic outcomes are less than optimal.
