I have enjoyed my study at Crawford over the last year. The IDEC progra was excellent, in my view, because it offered applied economics that bridges the gap between the understanding of economic theory and how it can be used for policy oriented solutions. This approach was exactly what I was looking for and I believe prepared me well in my recent application for a PhD. In my former life I studied as an Engineer and worked with Qantas for a number of years, but I had always wanted to study economics. I enrolled in the Sydney University Masters.
