COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Economic and Regional Development requires students to complete 96 credit points, including at least 36 credit points at the 500 level. Candidates admitted under Rule A must complete core units, a designated core pathway, and a selection of elective units to meet the total credit point requirement. Those admitted under Rule B may receive advanced standing based on prior study and must complete the remaining core units, the corresponding core pathway, and elective units to fulfil the program structure. This flexible framework allows students to tailor their learning to their academic background and career goals while ensuring they develop the advanced knowledge and analytical skills required for effective work in economic and regional development. For more detailed planning resources, including course plans, exit pathways, intensive school requirements and work placement options, students are encouraged to consult the UNE Handbook, which provides comprehensive guidance designed specifically for enrolled students.
