The Bachelor of Economics Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment program at the University of Technology Sydney is a specially curated curriculum that offers a comprehensive understanding of both, economics and its crucial impact on sustainable development. The program is divided into two major parts.
In the Economics section, it provides a solid foundation in key economic theories and principles, like market structure, economic policy, and international trade - which prepares students for a vast range of careers in the financial sector. Students learn how to use statistical tools, economic data, and theoretical models to conduct an economic analysis.
The Sustainability and Environment portion of the dual degree aims to create professionals who are competent to tackle environmental challenges. Students are taught how different agents contribute to environmental issues, skills to promote sustainability, and how to manage environmental systems and changes.
Together, these two disciplines equip the graduates to influence socioeconomic systems towards achieving environmental sustainability, making them desirable assets for various sectors like environmental consulting, government agencies, non-profit organisations etc.
