Mathematical models inform decisions in industry, government, and within economics. Our course combines both pure and application-driven mathematics. By the time you finish your degree, you will be able to use maths to solve practical problems.<br/><br/>Youll explore the relationship between mathematical modelling and economics. Youll also examine how societies attempt to make the best use of their scarce resources.<br/><br/>Youll combine core economic skills with current and fast-changing theories around financial markets. We give you the knowledge and techniques you need for more specialised careers in financial economics, research and forecasting or a future in business management, finance, banking and accountancy.<br/><br/>Advising on investment, production and prices are decisions that people might associate with economists, but they are increasingly asked to advise on:<br/><br/><br/>- policies to address climate change<br/><br/><br/>- policies to address inequality<br/><br/><br/>- policies to improve the National Health Service<br/><br/><br/>- many other issues including; marriage, religion, civil war, football hooliganism<br/><br/><br/>Our course focuses specifically on the macroeconomic challenges of national, regional and global economies together with the microeconomic behaviour of people and businesses.<br/><br/>Our Investment Society organises annual speakers and employer workshops.
