Master of Applied Econometrics

Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

About this program

Monash's Master of Applied Econometrics trains econometric specialists rather than general economists, with a strong emphasis on the analytical and technical skills needed for corporate, government and professional econometric careers. Students choose a theme, macro and financial econometrics, micro and health econometrics, or data analytics for energy and climate, and build expertise through both coursework and a research component covering applied econometrics, time series analysis and financial and macro or micro econometrics. The course is explicitly designed to also prepare high-performing students for a subsequent PhD, so the research training goes beyond what's typical in a purely applied master's degree. It suits students who want deep technical econometric skills for roles in central banks, financial institutions, government economic agencies or corporate strategy teams, and the thematic structure means graduates leave with genuine specialisation rather than a broad economics overview.
