Undergraduate

The Department of Economics welcomes enquiries from people interested in full and part time qualifications in Economics. Economics will fit in well to most programmes of study and will add to your value in the eyes of employers.

We recommend that students who want to complete a degree with a first major in economics complete either a Bachelor of Business Analysis (Financial), Bachelor of Management Studies, Bachelor of Management Studies with Honours, or Bachelor of Social Science. See below for degree planners tailored to economics students enrolled in these degrees.

Economics may also be taken as part of other University of Waikato degrees such as the Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Environmental Planning, Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, and Bachelor of Science.

For further information about Waikato Management School qualifications (including the Bachelor of Management Studies, Bachelor of Management Studies with Honours, and the Bachelor of Business Analysis (Financial)) you should begin by consulting the School's Qualifications website.
