The Master of Economic Analysis is an advanced and challenging graduate program in economics for highly focused students, whether they aspire to be admitted to the top economics PhD programs in the world or to positions of intellectual leadership as professional economists in government, NGOs or the private sector.
The University of Sydney School of Economics comes from a long tradition that started in 1920. The quality of our teaching is anchored in the strength of our research, which is considered world class in areas ranging from Macroeconomics to Applied Economics. The Master of Economic Analysis is designed as an elite degree for the highest achieving students who wish to obtain an advanced, state-of-the-art training in economics and apply this to important real-world problems.
Small classes of similarly highly motivated peers ensure focused attention from professors and an inspiring classroom experience. Training will cover the advanced tools of economic modeling, and how to apply these models to understand and analyse real-world phenomena from public policy and law to financial markets and firm strategy. You will also learn the art and science of working with data using sophisticated tools of econometrics, which is increasingly essential in the professional world.
Applicants with a strong background in mathematics will be considered for admission regardless of prior economics education. Please contact the degree director for advice.
GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates of the Master of Economic Analysis will be able to pursue a career as professional economists in academia, government or the private sector. Our graduates include Nobel Laureate in Economics and game theory pioneer
John Harsanyi, Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens and Professor of Economics and Public Policy Justin Wolfers (University of Michigan).

According to the 2013 QS world rankings, the Department of English at the University of Sydney is rated the best in Australia, the best in the entire Asia-Pacific region, and the 12th best in the world.
The Master of English Studies brings together contemporary critical theory with literary narratives to investigate how and why literature continues to enjoy particular resonance in a 21st-century environment. It focuses on four core critical approaches – critical reading, literary history, genre, and literary comparison (including the question of English as a world literature). Building upon the department’s established reputation in literary studies across a wide historical and geographical range, our scholarly experts teach in a broad spectrum of fields: medieval, early modern, 18th and 19th-century, modern and contemporary, American and Australian literatures, as well as various aspects of cultural theory.
We offer a more extensive choice than any other English department in Australia. This allows those returning to study for pedagogical or other professional purposes to update their skills in any given area of English studies.
Part of the program’s aim is to consider ways in which the study of literature in English works in a specifically Australian cultural context. In this sense, the Master of English is aligned with the contemporary repositioning of Australia in relation to “the Asian century” and to global culture more generally. Building on Australia’s long-established international reputation in Cultural Studies, this program seeks to expand consideration of literary as well as cultural narratives across a broad transnational framework. It provides an excellent foundation for research students, both from Australia and overseas, who wish to reconsider literature in English within a dynamically expanding global field.
Synergies with the Master of Creative Writing also allow you to explore various forms of contemporary writing practice and to engage with a lively series of visiting speakers from the active community of writers in Sydney and abroad. Students in the Master of English Studies can, if they choose, take creative writing units of study in contemporary poetry, fiction and screenwriting.

GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
The Master of English Studies offers you the opportunity to pursue or advance your career in any profession or area that demands intellectual flexibility and versatility, critical thinking and the ability to communicate, such as teaching, the media, public and community service, and academia. Employers value our English graduates because the program is designed to promote qualities of personal and intellectual autonomy, skills in research and enquiry, and a capacity for both information literacy and effective communication. Some students pursue this degree as a prelude to further advanced doctoral study, often with a view to an academic career; others, particularly school teachers, see it as an opportunity to upgrade existing skills for purposes of professional enhancement. Other students are motivated primarily by a particular interest in this subject.
