The Master of Economic Policy program comprises two consecutive semesters of full-time study or four consecutive semesters of part-time study. 

The program may be commenced in either first or second semester, although students wishing to commence in second semester should be aware that there are some limitations on the availability of econometrics units.

The program includes three compulsory courses and five courses chosen from a list of electives.  Courses that have been taken previously as part of another program are not admissible, in which case another course must be taken from the list of electives.

Compulsory courses (18 units)

• ECON8003 Economic Policy Issues
• either ECON8010 Public Economics or ECON8034 Principles of Public Economics
• EMET8005 Economic Models and Introductory Econometrics
• ECON8026 Diploma Macroeconomics
  

Electives will be substituted for EMET8005 Economic Models and Introductory Econometrics and ECON8026 Diploma Macroeconomics if these courses have been previously passed.

Some other course/s may be substituted at the discretion of the Program Convenor.
