Welcome to all our first years, and welcome to Economics at Monash.

To help you get started, ESSA has prepared the 2026 First Year Economics Guide—a practical, experience-based companion to the official Monash handbook. It’s designed to feel like getting advice from a past student: less formal, more honest, and focused on what you’ll actually experience in your first semester and beyond. The guide includes unit highlights and reflections from students, guidance on prerequisite trees and common progression streams, general Monash tips and academic support options, and reviews of key first-year units so you can plan with clearer expectations. 2026 O-Week First Year Guide
