Department of Economics and Finance
(Albany)

Welcome to our department website. We are located at the Albany Campus on Auckland's North Shore.

The Department of Economics and Finance (Albany) offers programmes from undergraduate Diploma to postgraduate Doctorate level in the following core disciplines:

Economics

Students majoring in economics develop theoretical and analytical skills useful for decision making. These are applied to a range of topical, significant policy issues. Economics focuses on complex interrelationships, whereby a change in one area will have repercussions elsewhere. Most of life's important questions are of this nature.

Finance

Finance is a decision-orientated discipline relating to the management of personal and organizational resources. The Finance major allows students to structure a personal study programme incorporating a wide range of disciplines to help develop their numeracy, logic and analytical skills. This helps achieve our aim of producing competent graduates who are better decision-makers - thereby giving them the edge in business.

Financial Economics

The financial economics major embeds the practical issues of financial analysis within a broader understanding of economic theory. The major emphasises key areas of business economics, the macro-economy and financial markets. Students acquire broad based knowledge of economic issues and specialised knowledge of financial markets operations. A key element of this discipline are modelling and forecasting skills.
