The ANU brings its expertise in economics and business to degrees in the areas of trade and international economic relations.  Postgraduate degrees in these areas are based on firm economic foundations to provide students with the basis for careers in business, government and NGOs.  The Master of International Trade and Economic Relations is designed to equip students with theoretical understanding and technical skills that can be applied in specific settings or that can be used to analyse economic data and to critically evaluate applied research in the area.  The Graduate Diploma in International Trade and Economic Relations provides an entry pathway for students who do not have a strong economics background.

Admission Requirements

Direct entry to the Master of International Trade and Economic Relations requires an Honours degree in economics at a level equivalent to ANU Honours in Economics grade IIA, or completion of the Graduate Diploma in International Trade and Economic Relations with an average grade of 65%.

Note: Students who are otherwise qualified for direct entry to the Masters program but who do not have sufficient background in econometrics may be required to take EMET8005 Economics Models and Introductory Econometrics (Semester 1) or IDEC8017 Econometric Techniques (Semester 2).
