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. Students who wish to go to the PhD are strongly advised to take the entire math-econ sequence ECON6015 Optimisation Techniques for Economists, ECON8013 Mathematical Techniques for Economics I, and ECON8014 Mathematical Techniques for Economics II.
