General Information
The aim of this degree is to equip the mathematically
competent students with a more specialised focus at
the level of mathematical theory and statistical analysis
while simultaneously providing them with an exposure
to the principles of economics and its key applications.
Course Structure
The course is full time over four years. In the first two
years of the programme, students are introduced to
the principles of macro - and microeconomics, calculus,
and statistics.The final two years of the programme
concentrate on the development of skills in statistical
analysis and econometrics and their application to a
range of problems in economic analysis.The second
semester of Year 3 is spent on a Cooperative Education
placement whereby students gain experience of using
the skills that they have already acquired in a working
environment where such analytical skills are required.

Career Prospects
This degree programme was developed in response to
trends in the labour market indicating the increasing
premium that business sectors place on highly
numerate graduates who also possess an understanding
of the economic and commercial environment. There
is always demand from employers for such graduates in
various spheres; business, education, as well as the
public and financial sectors.
