Mathematics/Economics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Mathematics is a vast and ever-growing subject which incorporates successful explorations of numerical, geometrical and logical relationships. In studying economics you will learn how individuals and society make choices about how scarce resources are used, what products are produced and who gets to consume them. These choices depend on evaluating costs, benefits, risks and effects on others.
