Course code: 0172 · Clayton campus · Normally completed in two
semesters of full-time study or four semesters of part-time study (may need to
be taken over three semesters due to the sequential nature of some
subjects)
The Graduate Diploma in Economic Studies is aimed at graduates of disciplines
other than economics and commerce, graduates who have taken only the equivalent
of first-year economics, or economics/commerce graduates of more than 10 years
standing. Specialisations in economics, econometrics and economic history are
available. Students who achieve a high standard will be able to progress to
further graduate work.
Admission to the course is open to applicants who have qualified for a pass
degree from a recognised tertiary institution. It is preferred that applicants
have successfully completed Year 12 mathematics or equivalent. For the
econometrics specialisation, it may be necessary for students without a
tertiary background in statistics to undertake the first-year-level statistics
subject prior to entry to the course.
Substitutions rather than course credits are the rule for work done previously.
Students who have passed subjects with content and standard similar to those of
the four core subjects within the economics and economic history
specialisations are expected to substitute other subjects; for example, for a
person with a mathematics/statistics background, it may be appropriate to
substitute a higher-level econometrics subject for ETC9020 or ETC9031/ETC9032 or
both. It is assumed that students who have already passed subjects of a content
and standard similar to that of the other four subjects would not normally wish
to enrol in the diploma, but if there should be such students, a similar
substitution rule will apply. Substitution is only available for subjects
completed within the previous 10 years.
The Graduate Diploma in Economic Studies is a HECS-based course.
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Diploma in Economic Studies
with an average grade of 70 per cent or above may apply for admission to the
Postgraduate Diploma in Economics.
The course consists of eight semester-length subjects.
Course
director: Professor Maxwell King
1. Four subjects from the following, at least one being selected from
those marked with a dagger:
2. At least two subjects from:
Students whose qualifying
degree is in economics may, with the permission of the head of the Department
of Econometrics and Business Statistics, substitute other subjects for the two
economics subjects.
3. Two subjects from the preceding lists or from second and third-year
subjects available in the Bachelor of Economics degree.
Course
director: Associate Professor Dietrich Fausten
1. Four core subjects:
Due to the
sequential nature of ETC9020 and ETC9031, students will not be able to take all
the first four subjects in the first semester of their course. Together with
the background required for the other subjects, this implies that a student
with no prior economics or statistics may need to take more than two semesters
to complete the course.
2. At least two of the following:
3. Not more than two other third or second-year subjects taught by the departments of Economics or Econometrics and Business Statistics (Clayton) and available in the Bachelor of Economics degree, of which not more than one may be from outside the Department of Economics or from second year.
1. As
for the economics specialisation.
2. At least three of the following, only one of which may be a second-year
subject.
3. Not more than one other second or third-year subject taught by the Department of Economics or Econometrics and Business Statistics (Clayton) and available in the Bachelor of Economics degree.
