About this programme
Economics is about choice and is at the heart of decision-making. It is a way of thinking that provides a logical way of looking at a variety of issues, dealing with topics such as unemployment, economic growth, housing, income inequality, international trade, sustainable development and the environment. Economics at Otago is an exciting, dynamic, contemporary field that applies across the private sector, government and beyond.
Entry requirements
International students need a secondary-school qualification recognised as equivalent to New Zealand University Entrance. Widely accepted qualifications include Cambridge International A-levels (typically at least 120 NZ Tariff points), the IB Diploma (minimum 24 points), and many recognised national qualifications assessed country-by-country. Applicants who do not meet direct entry can qualify through a foundation-year programme or one year of study at an institution of university standing. Some programmes require specific subjects, and a satisfactory level of English is required.
