I think Economics is suitable for everyone, as long as they're interested in understanding human behaviour. How they make decisions, because economics can tell us how decisions made by an individual, by an organisation, by a manager, by a politician, will have impacts on the social welfare of individuals. So if you're interested in investigating these issues, economics is for you.

One of the things I enjoy most about studying at QUT is the fact that I can take night time classes, particularly in the Business School, they cater well for part-time students to come straight from work to study but they also cater for the night owls like me, I can come to study at night time classes when I function the best.

Real world education means that we've got staff who have actually worked in the real world, in banks and government departments and in large corporations. It means we use real world resources like downloads in Real Time from Bloomberg or wherever it may be we get the data from.

What I enjoy most about my job is being able to provide insights for people that they otherwise wouldn???t see at first glance. I can give them a little bit extra to help them make their decisions.

It can focus on economics application in areas such as art, sports, environmental economics, ecosystems, tray.

Studying economics and finance is not just about the numbers. Yes, there is a large mathematical component, particularly in economics where you're learning the models, economic models, but they also teach you how to use those models and why they are important when you are out in a job. It's not just 'here's the theory now go and use it' but they really teach you how it fits in with what you'll be doing within your workplace and what it means to society.

Once I got into the workforce I realised I knew a lot more than I thought I did. Even though I was a bit nervous to go into it, I realised that yeah, my studies really did give me quite a pool of knowledge to draw upon.

Professor Tim Robinson

We're helping develop theory that they'll use in the real world in just a few years time so there's a good mix of theory and application which gives a well rounded, real world approach.
