Testimonials
Tom Heagney: "The UTS Economics Honours program provided a strong quantitative and qualitative foundation for realising success in the workforce. I was able to pursue my passion for macroeconomics under the tutelage of knowledgeable and highly esteemed economists."
Liqing Chen: "Studying economics honours at UTS is different from the undergraduate experience, and much more rewarding. Subjects are well-prepared with both theoretical and practical perspectives. The small class size and the complementary work station in the office make approaching the academics and asking them questions very easy. The program provides a great environment for the students to discuss and work collaboratively."
Utkarsh Somaiya: “Honours was a huge step up from undergraduate studies and showed me how economics is done in academia and industry. It was an extremely demanding but rewarding year, and I am undoubtedly better for the experience.”
Raymond Kumar: “This program allowed me to gain a much deeper understanding of economics and research. What I liked most about the course is that it gave me opportunity to discuss and collaborate with members in the economic faculty on different topics.”
AJ Parish: “Collaborating with my peers is what I enjoyed most about the Honours program. You have to collaborate with your peers to come out on top. You will naturally bond, forge strong friendships and have a great time together.”
Steve Yeong: "Honours is pretty hard, but it genuinely puts you on another level. If you do it right, honours will fast track your career and give you an insight into what research is all about. You'll have a lot of fun, make new friends, get 24/7 access to the Economics Department and maybe even find love. Give it a go and drop out before the census date if it’s not for you."
Alison Lim: “Completing my Honours was difficult but I don’t regret it. The lecturers have been so helpful (particularly John Wooders!) and you really learn to work together with the other Honours students to solve complex problems.”
Daniel Popovski: “My thesis supervisors were supportive, encouraging and provided useful feedback to my work.”
Isabella Buchert-Palmisano: "The Economic Honours Program at the University of Technology Sydney was both challenging and rewarding. Throughout the program, I was able to gain a more thorough understanding of economics and was given the opportunity to write my thesis on any topic I chose, which allowed me to enhance my knowledge of my specific area of interest. It were these skills learnt both in the coursework and the writing of the thesis that were the most transferrable in terms of career and especially in conversational interviews. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience during the Economic Honours Program at the University of Technology Sydney."
