Mathematics and Economics

About this programme

How do government policies shape everyday life? What really drives inflation and interest rates? And how can mathematical models help explain unemployment, growth and financial instability? Our BSc Mathematics and Economics equips you to explore these questions using the analytical power of mathematics alongside core economic theory. This joint honours degree will help you to develop strong mathematical foundations while gaining a deep understanding of how economies work. Run collaboratively by the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Economics, we integrate quantitative training with economic reasoning. By the time you graduate, you’ll be able to analyse complex global challenges with clarity and precision. How do government policies shape everyday life?
