Emerging economies in Asia-Pacific are positioned to contribute the largest share to global growth. This specialisation provides a comprehensive understanding of the economic, trade and development issues relevant to developing and managing long-term policy and programs in Asia-Pacific. Compulsory courses in the specialisation establish high-level analytical skills in quantitative international economics and an understanding of the sources of economic growth, international trade and globalisation in the Asia-Pacific region. Elective courses offer further specialisation in China, Japan and Southeast Asia, applied monetary theory and the international dimensions of national policy-making. To maximise learning and career outcomes for those in public, private and non-government sectors, an Academic Convenor provides advice on course planning, events of interest and meets regularly with the group.
