Designed in partnership between CEDA and Swinburne Edge, it is tailored for professionals and developed by professional economists.
Each module will guide you through economic terms and concepts and uncover how they are applied in Australian policymaking by leading economic institutions like the Treasury and the Reserve Bank. This is a practical course - you won’t spend countless hours on perfect competition and price shocks. Instead, you’ll jump right to the contemporary experience of how these concepts are implemented and referenced by our leaders, engaging with real-world case studies, guided activities, and structured reflection points to deepen your understanding.
All seven modules can be booked together to unlock a discount.
