Economics and Mathematical Sciences

About this course

Economics and mathematical sciences together form a natural intellectual pairing, since modern economics is built on mathematical foundations and the most rigorous economic thinking relies heavily on formal modelling, statistical analysis and quantitative reasoning. Studying both together develops the ability to engage with economics at a level of analytical precision that a less mathematically grounded programme cannot reach, while the economic applications give purpose and context to the mathematical tools you are learning. The Open University offers this programme in a part-time and distance learning format, making it accessible to students who cannot attend a residential university and who need to fit higher education around existing work and personal commitments. The Open University has a long and well-established track record in mathematics and economics education through distance
