Mathematics with Economics

About this programme

Having a good grasp of mathematics is key to understanding modern economics. This BSc Mathematics with Economics gives you the chance to study both topics in depth. The programme is carefully structured to focus on mathematical and statistical topics that are highly relevant to economics and finance. You’ll dive into key mathematical methods, such as algebra and calculus, and statistical theory. In parallel, you’ll study how these principles are applied in macroeconomics, microeconomics and mathematical economics. This degree is taught jointly with our world-class Department of Economics. There is a strong focus on building your quantitative knowledge – increasingly important for a successful career in finance, accounting and other areas. This degree will be of interest to all mathematically or scientifically minded students, regardless of whether you’ve studied economics previously. For an introduction to mathematics as it is applied in economics and finance, we recommend: If you wish to gain further insight into what economists study we suggest that you first look at the following popular book: Much of university level mathematics is concerned with formal proofs and rigorous mathematical argument, and this is necessary for some of the advanced mathematics required in finance, economics, and other fields of application. For an introduction, we recommend: Here, you can check our entry requirements for GCSEs, A-levels (please read them alongside our information about subject combinations) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.
