The objective of the Masters in Environmental and Resource Economics degree is to provide students with rigorous and specialist training in economics and the environment. The degree is designed for individuals with a strong background in economics.

On completion of the degree students have well developed skills in quantitative analysis and modelling and an understanding of the economic approaches to resolve the challenges of resource overexploitation and misuse of the environment. Graduates are in high demand and have found employment in research, policy analysis and as consultants in Australia and overseas.

The program attracts both Australian and overseas students who are in high demand upon graduation. Students without a background in economics can enroll in the Graduate Diploma in Environmental & Resource Economics which offers the necessary background to undertake the MERE degree 

International students on development assistance scholarships, e.g. AusAID, normally take two years to complete the Master degree, as they are required to do the Graduate Diploma first.

Admission Requirements

Bachelor Honours degree, Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in economics or cognate area
