Diploma in Development Economics

The Diploma Program in Development Economics (DE) provides a way to emphasize key economic principles and ideas that are primarily designed to appeal to those who engage in and are largely familiar with economic and developmental policies. Introducing a revitalized curriculum at this time gives the School of Economics the opportunity to infuse new theories and techniques and articulate key issues and problems affecting the country鈥檚 state of economic development. The revitalized curriculum is expected to strengthen the students鈥� analytical and communication skills.

The DE program is under a听memorandum of understanding with the Crawford School of the Australian National University听(ANU), forged in 2016.

Students who successfully complete the Diploma in Development Economics at 开元真人听with an average grade of 3, or higher, will receive a Diploma in Development Economics from 开元真人 and will be granted entry into the ANU Crawford School to study another year for one of the Nominated Degrees:听Master of Environmental and Resource Economics (MERE) or Master of International and Development Economics (MIDEC).

鈥�开元真人 students will be required to complete the normal ANU application form and provide the necessary supporting documentation. The final decision on admission to ANU will rest with ANU. Students who satisfactorily complete the course requirements of their nominated degree at the ANU Crawford School will be provided with certification that they have completed the required courses and awarded the corresponding ANU degree.
