In economics, you will study economic behaviour associated with a range of settings such as households, businesses and governments. Topics may also include the functioning of markets and the effects of fiscal and monetary policies. In mathematics, you will deepen your understanding of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics.

These constituent disciplines complement each other in providing better insight about economic theories from a more advanced mathematical angle. You will graduate with a range of skills and capabilities, both subject-related and more general, lifelong skills, such as analytical ability, critical thinking and advanced quantitative skills. 

In addition to subject specific knowledge, this degree helps develop a range of generic skills including critical and analytical thinking, advanced numeracy, writing and presentation skills, that find practical application in a range of careers. Our graduates find employment in a variety of places, such as the public sector (Government Economic Service and local authorities), businesses, financial institutions and NGOs.
