Master of Economics and Resource Policy

In a world where resources are finite and economic pressures mount, effective and sustainable policy-making has never been more crucial. Adelaide University’s Master of Economics and Resource Policy empowers you with the tools to make impactful decisions. Whether in agriculture, energy, trade, or public policy. This program blends core economic theory with hands-on modeling, cost-benefit analysis, and applied research, enabling you to address real-world issues such as food security, environmental sustainability, and economic resilience.

Throughout the degree, you tailor your studies through specialisations including Economic Analysis, Global Food and Agribusiness, International Trade, and Public Economics and Policy, graduating with both depth and flexibility. The final year challenges you with an independent research project and optional internship, designed to build critical experience and professional connections.

At this information night, you’ll hear from Associate Professor Craig Jones, who will discuss the program’s structure, its relevance to today's economic and resource challenges, and the pathways it opens - to careers in government, consultancy, NGOs, and beyond. Whether you're seeking to advance, pivot, or specialise, this session will guide your next move toward a meaningful and influential career.
