Economics and Mathematics

About this course

Economics and mathematics are two disciplines with a deep and natural affinity. Economics uses mathematical models to understand how markets work, how agents make decisions under uncertainty, how policy interventions affect economic outcomes, and how macroeconomic variables like growth, employment, and inflation are related. Mathematics provides the rigorous language in which these models are expressed and the analytical tools with which they are investigated, from calculus and optimisation to probability theory, linear algebra, and statistics. Studying them together means you can engage with economics at the quantitative level that serious research and professional practice require. At the University of Sheffield, this three-year full-time programme combines the two disciplines in a rigorous and applied way, developing strong mathematical and economic skills alongside each other.
