Financial Economics

Combine an economic understanding of money and banking, with a practical knowledge of how financial markets operate, at both a local and global level. You'll develop your quantitative data analytic skills with the software and technology available in our world-class Rosemarie Nathanson Financial Markets Trading Room and engage in an internship with a private or public organisation.

This Extended Major is designed for students who seek to become professional economists and pursue careers as economic consultants, economic and financial analysts, and specialist economists in government, business, banking and other financial institutions. UWA Economics graduates have built careers in the Australian and State Treasuries, the Australian Reserve Bank, as well as in economic consultancies, major companies, banks and large financial institutions.
