Program Overview

As a student who is comfortable and fluent in mathematics, BSc Economics and Mathematics (Industry) provides you with the analytic skills and intellectual toolbox to help answer some of the most pressing economics questions.

You will learn how to interpret data, understand (and quantify) the decisions made by individuals, organisations, and governments and evaluate economic policies.

You will cover the fundamentals of Economic theory and practice, and as your degree progresses and you discover more about both the subject and about yourself, you have the opportunity to flex this programme in ways that speak to your changing interests and strengths. This might lead you to choose modules in:

• International Trade
• Environmental Economics
• Health Economics
• Behavioural Economics

Amongst many other specialisations. This leads to a degree unique to you, where you have played a major part in building the degree you want.

Alongside your Economics studies, you will study the principles, methods and concepts of Mathematics. Modules cover a wide range of topics from calculus, probability and statistics to logic, proofs and theorems.

This programme uses your mathematical skills and knowledge to explore the core principles of macro- and micro-economics and game theory amongst other areas of the discipline.

Your third year is spent in industry. You’ll be supported in securing a placement, with past students joining companies such as IBM, Lloyds Bank, Microsoft, PwC and the Bank of England. Roles on offer range from project management and logistics to investment, business development and risk. Most placements are in the UK but there are some options overseas.
