Economics and Mathematics

University of Surrey

What you will study: All our economics students follow the same first year in order to build a solid foundation on which to specialise. This means you can choose to transfer to the BSc in Business Economics and Data Analytics, Economics and Finance, or Economics from your second year, or continue with the Economics and Mathematics BSc. All our programmes include two compulsory employability modules where you will obtain advice and feedback on CV and cover letter-writing, and how to prepare for an interview. You will also be encouraged to think about what kind of career you wish to pursue and how to start working towards your future goals. The first-year modules are designed to provide you with a broad range of basic tools, skills and knowledge that you will develop during your programme. You will study introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as a wide range of mathematics modules to develop a robust understanding and knowledge of economic theory and quantitative skills. In the second year, the programme will become more specialised. You will study microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics modules at a more advanced level these modules will be complemented by further mathematic modules to strengthen and solidify your quantitative skill set towards one that provides a distinct edge for a technical and quantitative-heavy job role in the future. We offer a long list of specialised economics modules, some of which are more technical than others, all taught by lecturers conducting research in various fields in economics. In your final year, you will be able to choose four economics modules to study more quantitatively-orientated modules or explore other specialised fields (e. g. finance, international trade) in economics. You will also be able to select four mathematics modules to gain a more advanced, and highly specialised quantitative skill set.
