WHY BUSINESS, ARCHITECTURE AND LAW?

Welcome to the Faculty of the Professions, where ‘putting leading thought into leading practice’ is our guiding principle.

The Faculty of the Professions produces career-ready—and world-ready—graduates, through:

• learning and teaching that’s under- pinned by world-class research

• structured study pathways that prepare students to achieve external professional accreditation

• commerce, entrepreneurship and finance degrees awarded international accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)*

• exchange programs and tailored study tours and studios that enhance student learning experiences.

* AACSB accreditation is a hallmark of excellence in business education. It has been earned by less than five per cent of the world’s business schools.

Why business, architecture and law? 3

Executive Experience study toursAvailable as an undergraduate or postgraduate elective, Executive Experience study tours produce a transformational leap in students’ personal and professional development.

Participants spend a week learning from experts on everything from building their personal brands to effective networking, communication and presentation, dining etiquette, business protocol, cultural awareness, and even professional styling.

The Executive Experience Sydney tour includes exclusive invitations to top organisations, networking and panel sessions with industry professionals, and insightful lessons with the Sydney School of Protocol.

Go global with usThe Faculty of the Professions offers a number of exciting tours to leading overseas universities for anything from 10 days to three weeks. The tours are organised by the faculty, with staff accompanying students, and have previously taken place in Europe, South America and Asia.

Many are partially subsidised by the faculty or Australian Government, and participating students may be eligible for an OS-HELP* loan. Tours are run in University holiday periods during summer and winter school, and earn students credit for up to two courses.

* A loan to help eligible Commonwealth-supported students pay their overseas study expenses.

BACHELOR OF ECONOMICS

SATAC CODE314141




GUARANTEED ENTRY 75

ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE Knowledge of mathematics is helpful for finance, economics and commerce courses.

adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder Search economics

Economists put all the pieces together. They study the interaction of decision-making in households, businesses and broader society. They consider how we respond to incentives (the things that influence decision–making). And they analyse how we reconcile conflicting choices. They provide the ‘big picture’, and inform all aspects of policy design and business strategy.

Bachelor of Economics graduates understand deeply how the economy works, and are well equipped to shape its future. Students study: microeconomics—issues such as management of the environment and depleting natural resources; macroeconomics —issues relating to the growth and stability of the whole economic system; econometrics —the maths and statistics of economics; and a range of other topics.

Graduates develop the capacity to break down issues into questions that can be resolved, and that inform the collection of relevant data and information. They also acquire techniques for the analysis and management of that data. These are skills critical to good decision-making throughout the business world, and at all levels of government.


The Bachelor of Economics gives students the flexibility to specialise in a particular area of economics, such as international or environmental economics. In addition, because only around half the degree’s courses are compulsory, it’s possible to enhance a chosen economics specialisation by taking courses with the same focus but from other disciplines (e.g. politics or environmental studies). Alternatively, students may choose to focus on something quite different within their degree, such as philosophy or accounting.

Career readiness

This degree provides a great foundation for a wide range of careers. Recent graduates have been employed by trading and merchant banks, stockbrokers, insurance companies, accounting firms, financial planners, infrastructure and utility companies, manufacturers and distributors and a wide range of federal and state government organisations. Other employment opportunities include journalism, teaching, foreign affairs and international consulting.

Completion of an honours degree opens up more options for specialist positions in economics, including in government and business.


The Bachelor of Economics with a focus on accounting is accredited by the two major Australian professional accounting bodies: CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA).

A wide number of our courses have also met the competence area requirement for Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.

Concurrent and double degrees

Economics can be studied successfully with other degrees to broaden the scope of a student’s career path. Options include:

• Bachelor of Arts with Bachelor of Economics

• Bachelor of Economics with Bachelor of Finance

• Bachelor of International Relations with Bachelor of Economics

• Bachelor of Teaching with Bachelor of Economics

• Bachelor of Economics with Bachelor of Laws.

ADDITIONAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Year 12 applicants must obtain a Selection rank of 95 or higher (or equivalent).

adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder Search economics

The Bachelor of Economics (Advanced) is designed for high-achieving students seeking a uniquely structured, specialised economics degree, with a strong emphasis on research and advanced economic analysis skills.

It’s ideally suited to students who aspire to:

• obtain a deep understanding of how economic and social outcomes depend on institutions, economic policy and endowments (such as resources and skills)

• become leaders in business, policy or research.

Students are individually guided by a personal mentor from the research staff of the School of Economics. This provides the valuable opportunity to interact with, and learn from, eminent researchers in the school, notable economists from abroad, and high-ranking economists practising in the private and public sector.

The degree also features small-group work, and special activities and events with distinguished visitors.

Additionally, students undertake three courses unique to the Bachelor of Economics (Advanced). These equip them with the specific knowledge and research skills required for high-level jobs in the private or public sector, and/or further study in economics.

(Note: Bachelor of Economics students can transfer into the Advanced degree if they achieve a sufficiently high grade point average after one, two or three semesters.)

Unlike the conventional Bachelor of Economics, students in the Advanced degree can obtain a major in Finance, or Politics and International Studies. It’s also possible to study the Bachelor of Economics (Advanced) concurrently with other degrees.

If students don’t want to formally major in any of the areas above, however, they have the flexibility to specialise in another area of economics (e.g. environmental economics). And they can enhance that specialisation by taking courses with the same focus, but from other disciplines (e.g. environmental studies).

SATAC CODE334051




adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder Search Project Management

In recent years project management has emerged as a profession in its own right and has developed at a rapid pace with opportunities for qualified project managers ever increasing. The use of project management knowledge and skills is universally recognised by business, government and the community as critical to delivering successful outcomes on their projects.

These projects range across various industries and fields including defence, information technology, construction, engineering, transport, health and the arts. The new undergraduate project management program sets out to provide students with best practice project management knowledge and skills. In the first instance the program teaches generic and fundamental project management knowledge. It then progresses to allow students to develop more specific knowledge in an industry or field of their choice. Hence, graduates of the program will be career ready equipped with an education and qualifications that allow them to join and lead project teams.

Studying for a Bachelor of Project Management at a globally recognised institution such as the University of Adelaide provides for a great learning experience leading to great opportunities and a rewarding career in project management.

There are few disciplines more challenging or satisfying than law. Due to the high-level analytical skills developed throughout a law degree, graduates are keenly sought not only in the legal profession, but in many other areas of employment, including the commercial and government sectors.

Moot courtAdelaide Law School students have the opportunity to build their skills in presenting a case or argument in our mock courtroom. The moot court is used for debating, moot court competitions, and practical training, such as in advocacy and mediation.

Adelaide Law School free legal clinicsOur law students are also able to gain professional experience through the Magistrates Court Legal Advice Service and Adelaide Legal Outreach Services.

The Adelaide Law School Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB) can be completed as a single degree or as part of a double degree program. The degree’s compulsory requirements ensure a thorough grounding in common law principles and legal methodology, while a wide choice of elective courses range from the commercial (e.g. Intellectual Property, Taxation Law) to liberal and socially-oriented topics (e.g. Family Law, Legal Theory).

The LLB provides graduates with a rigorous knowledge of the areas of substantive law necessary to undertake legal practice, within a broad liberal education. Intakes are offered in both semester 1 and 2.


A wide range of elective courses are offered from areas including: comparative law; corporate/taxation law; criminal law; environmental law; family law; intellectual property; labour and industrial relations law; human rights; and international law.

Career readiness

Roles for law graduates are expanding significantly. Those who become lawyers can become involved in court work, or enter practice as a solicitor. But many graduates also pursue careers in industry, government, commerce, community organisations or academic institutions.

This huge range of options, and the opportunities and influence they afford, gives a career in law a distinctive appeal to students.


The Bachelor of Laws is accredited by the Legal Practitioners’ Education and Admission Council in South Australia, and provides the academic foundation for admission to legal practice throughout Australia.

To be admitted to practise, however, graduates must complete further practical legal training. Students intending to seek

admission to practise are strongly advised to seek advice from the admitting authority in the relevant jurisdiction. In South Australia the University of Adelaide and the Law Society of South Australia provide practical legal training through their Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice course.

Upon graduation from the Bachelor of Laws and completion of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, students are eligible for admission to the Supreme Court of South Australia (with a restricted practising certificate). Once admitted, practitioners may apply for admission in any other Australian jurisdiction.

Concurrent degrees

Graduates completing two degrees concurrently are placed to take up specialist career opportunities offered beyond the law.
