Why study the Master of Business Economics (Advanced)?
The Master of Business Economics is an advanced graduate program that has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of decision-makers and policy advisers in business. Rapid change coupled with increasing business complexity is a challenge for management across all sectors, and 'economics-savvy' employees are a premium asset. This program does not presume prior knowledge or training in economics, and seeks to give existing and aspiring middle and upper managers necessary problem-solving skills, dovetailing with previous undergraduate training. The desired result is a business professional who has the multidisciplinary background needed in business today, a person who is a lateral thinker, analytically strong and adaptable.
The Advanced program includes a research thesis on an approved topic.
