The UQ School of Economics conducts research in a diverse range of areas from finance and international trade to trade liberalisation and environment and poverty. The School of Economics has an active research program and a supportive research environment. This provides opportunities for research students to create new knowledge and to contribute significantly to understanding of important economic issues. Nationally and internationally our academic staff set the pace in their respective fields, pursuing research in diverse leading-edge areas.

The School is proactive in attracting top students from Queensland, around Australia and internationally. We offer a range of highly competitive scholarship programs, and our scholarship students consistently set a very high standard, which enhances the quality of the ‘student experience' and in turn, encourages a premier learning environment and culture.
The number of students undertaking graduate (coursework and research) studies in the school has continued to increase. The introduction of the Master of International Economics and Finance has been especially popular, as more students seek a qualification that gives them a comprehensive understanding of the globalised economy, and equips them to play an active part in it.
With health resource and policy planning in the forefront of Australian and international government priorities, the School (in conjunction with UQ's School of Population Health) has introduced new graduate coursework programs in the field of Health Economics, one of the very small number of Australian universities to be able to offer this type of program.
