3021 The Graduate Diploma in Applied Economics provides a foundation in economic theory and quantitative methods that is relevant to applied economics. The program includes the core areas of microeconomics and macroeconomics at the diploma level to provide an understanding of the theoretical basis of real world economic issues. It also provides a grounding in intermediate-level mathematical methods that are relevant for economic analysis, and a foundation in econometric methods that are used in the analysis of economic data. Electives can be chosen that allow students to develop a specialization in particular fields of interest.The Graduate Diploma offers training in economics that can be applied at a variety of levels in business and government. It is also designed to provide access to the Master of Applied Economics program for students without sufficient background for direct entry at the Masters level. It forms the first year of a two-year sequence leading the Masters degree. In order to progress to the second (Masters) year of the two-year program students must obtain a pass in the Graduate Diploma with an average of 70%.All graduate coursework for domestic students in the ANU College of Business and Economics is offered under Domestic Tuition Fee places. Australian citizens may defer the payment of their fees using FEE-HELP, however should be aware that the programs are not eligible for Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS-HELP.
