Economics and Mathematics with professional placement or study abroad Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Achieve a grounding in economic theory and explore the different statistical approaches needed to analyse complex financial data.

During this course, you’ll develop your understanding of the tools and key theories within economics and mathematics. You'll use these skills to analyse contemporary problems and policy.

Mathematics is the foundation of economic analysis. By learning how mathematical language enables the development of economic and financial theory, you’ll develop the skills needed to analyse complex financial data.

In Year 1, you'll build a strong foundation in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, while developing core mathematical and statistical tools for modelling and data analysis.

In Year 2, you'll deepen your knowledge of economic analysis and strengthen your mathematics, econometric and statistical skills to help you to understand and interpret real-world data. You'll also select from a range of optional units to broaden your learning.

In your final year, you'll select from a wide range of optional units. This will give you the freedom to focus on your interests and career ambitions. These units will span topics like advanced economics and econometrics, as well as rigorous mathematics, statistics and data-science methods.

Throughout this course, you’ll explore mathematical methods and techniques such as algebra, analysis, probability and statistics. You’ll also learn the programming skills to implement computational modelling and analysis in economic contexts.
