BSc Economics and Mathematics

  • Objectives Our degree courses equip you with a solid grounding in modern economic theory, incorporating the issues underlying current debates on economic policy and the quantitative and analytical skills essential for economists. You will learn a way of thinking that can be applied to challenges in many areas of contemporary concern. Three core modules (two maths and one statistics) will provide you with a thorough grounding at level one of your degree. At levels two and three, a wider range of optional modules are added to core modules, allowing you to develop the clarity of thought, powers of reasoning and abstraction, and mathematical understanding necessary to mathematicians.
