International Economics
**Note: This major is currently under review and is not available to commencing students in 2015.
The forces of globalisation are continuing to create new opportunities in the world economy for individuals who can understand and deal with the increasing complexities involved. International Economics is perfect for students who want to develop a sound understanding of the economic and social forces that are shaping the world economy. As well as detailed study in macroeconomic theory, you will learn international trade theory and explore economic development. International trade will be examined in terms of debt and growth, the effects of commercial policies on national welfare, and the interrelation of foreign exchange markets. You can focus your degree further with elective subjects in areas including trade in East Asia, global economics, or the foundations of the Australian economy.
