Description of the Programme
This programme is recommended for students interested in social science applications of mathematical concepts. Mathematics is crucial for a clear understanding of modern economics. A degree programme combining these two disciplines which are strongly related gives you the opportunity to study both mathematics and economics in depth which enables you to gain the quantitative and analytical skills as well as the technical aptitude to enter a successful career in business, finance and many other fields including an opportunity to advance your studies. This degree is carefully structured so that the mathematical and statistical topics you study are those that are in line and of greatest relevance to economics. The program provides students with a focused background in economic principles and theories along with the in-depth knowledge of a mathematics degree. In the Economics component, available areas of study include but not limited to: economic policy; business economics; econometrics; economic history; macroeconomics; microeconomics; financial markets; environmental and resource economics; health economics; labour economics; international trade and development among others. In the Mathematics component, you will choose to develop comprehensive specialized knowledge in one field of mathematics or a high level of sophistication in the applications of mathematics. Advances in scientific technology, modern computation and the increasing production of data have all increased the scope for the application of mathematics in fields such as economics, finance and information technology.
