Guide to courses

Economics has been taught at the University of Melbourne since 1885 when one of the University's first four professors, W E Hearn, was appointed to teach political economy as a component of the Bachelor of Arts degree. A separate Faculty of Commerce was established in 1924. In 1944 it was renamed the Faculty of Economics and Commerce.

Today the Faculty is a leading centre of teaching and research in economics and commerce. Teaching within the Faculty is undertaken by the Departments of Accounting and Business Information Systems, Finance, Economics (which houses the Centre for Actuarial Studies) and Management and Marketing. There are also three specialised research centres: the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research (MIAESR), the Asia Economics Centre and the Australian Centre for International Business - which greatly enhance the Faculty's research and teaching. The Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia is a joint activity of the Faculty of Economics and Commerce, the Faculty of Law and the Melbourne Business School.
