Handbook

A bachelor degree from an Australian university or equivalent overseas institution with a minimum overall average of 65%, as determined by the UNSW Postgraduate Coursework Entry Calculator

Students' prior learning will be recognised to reduce the program duration. For students with Bachelor of Economics or Bachelor of Business degree with economics specialisation or equivalent who achieved economics component of at least 70, Honours or Graduate Diploma, the 5 core courses may be waived.

For students with prior work experience of at least one year in the private or public sector (for example, clerical or administrative work in a commercial, not-for-profit or public service organisation, supervisory or management, banking, finance or marketing experience or other business-related positions) the prescribed economics practicum may be waived. 

NOTE: Assumed knowledge - A level of knowledge equivalent to a first-year undergraduate mathematics subject is assumed. Students without such knowledge are advised to contact the Postgraduate Coursework Director in Economics, complete an appropriate self-assessment of university mathematics knowledge before the commencement of their first term and complete a Maths bridging course where appropriate.
