Undergraduate programme in Mathematics with Economics

• G1L1 BSc/Math Ec: BSc (3 year full-time)

• G1LC BSc/Math E4: (4 year sandwich)

This programme aims to meet a demand which exists in industry, government and commerce for well-educated mathematicians with a substantial knowledge of the theory and application of economics. Specific careers available to graduates include actuarial work, economic model building and statistical work in industry, commerce or the Civil Service.

The first two years provide a basic foundation with two thirds of the programme consisting of mathematics modules, the remaining one third comprising a study of both macroeconomics and microeconomics. In the final year a wide variety of optional subjects are available from both the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Economics department. In both mathematics and economics use is made of computers to carry out analysis of data.

A personal tutor is assigned to each student to provide help and guidance throughout their entire studies.
