What we do

Events

Case Competitions

Each semester various economics and social events are run. In 2022 members enjoyed meet and greets, and events on inflation, cryptocurrency, careers in policy, and financial stability. Academic events feature experts from around Australia presenting students with an opportunity to broaden their knowledge and challenge their ideas.

MUES is aspiring to kickstart economics case competitions targeted at advanced students.

We are on the lookout for an industry sponsor to support us in this endeavour. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, connect with us through our society email:

Mentoring

Mentoring is a new initiative in 2023! This program is looking to increase the graduate outcomes of Macquarie University Economics students. Open to all students eager to excel, the experience will provide a tailored guide mentees can use to reach their potential. Mentors will be selected from senior years of university and industry depending on the mentee's needs.

Conflicting Ideas

Conflicting Ideas is a blog dedicated to providing economists with a space to explore and debate the different ideas and policies which arise from differing economic perspectives. Once a fortnight, you can read a blog post providing two views on issues regarding economics, either through a debate between two economists or a single economist exploring both sides of the argument.

Volunteering Opportunities

There are many opportunities for interested members to get involved at MUES. With many events and other initiatives running throughout the year, we are always looking for quality help. It's a valuable experience for aspiring economists to get close to the action, work within a team and lead different aspects of the society. If you'd like to volunteer, we encourage you to apply.
