Economics for non-economists is an online course designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of economics.
Developed by professional economists and in collaboration with Swinburne Edge, it is ideal for people seeking to understand key economic principles and develop a stronger understanding of the economy.
Across each learning module, you will dive into how these concepts are applied to Australian policymaking by major institutions like the RBA. We have also designed it to be a practical, hands-on economics course geared to support informed decision-making and analysis of key developments.
As a CEDA Lead member, Swinburne University is committed to driving policy awareness through impactful short courses designed in collaboration with our experts.

I’ve worked in the public sector, across several agencies, for over 25 years. During this time, I have had several touch points with economic concepts without any real understanding of the broader economics framework. This online course filled in those gaps for me in a way that sustained my interest and allowed me to incorporate the learning into my existing workload. While going through the course, I had many ‘aha’ moments which cumulated in solid foundation in economics concepts.
