Aimed at students with a background in economics, analytics or mathematics (including some statistics), the Master of Applied Econometrics is a three-semester program that focuses on the practical application of advanced econometric modelling techniques.

Econometric skills (the application of statistical methods to economic data), are increasingly in demand as advances in information and communications technologies, offer greater opportunities to work with big data.

Melbourne Business School also offers a 2-year Master of Applied Econometrics (Enhanced) if you're interested in taking advantage of our many elective options as part of your degree.

If you have not previously studied economics, analytics or mathematics, you could consider our Master of Management (Finance) or Master of Management (Accounting).

If you are interested in understanding the fiscal responses to macroeconomic conditions, the degree of collusion amongst petrol retailers in Australia, or the impact of trade liberalisation on wage inequality, then The Master of Applied Econometrics is the program for you.

It will give you the econometric expertise to answer real-world economic questions, while also providing the flexibility to specialise in areas relating to your career goals.
