Economics and Mathematics

About this course

Economics and mathematics is a combination that takes both disciplines at full strength rather than diluting either to accommodate the other. Economics provides the theoretical frameworks and empirical methods to understand how markets work, how firms and governments make decisions, and how economies function at the aggregate level. Mathematics provides the formal language and analytical tools without which modern economic reasoning is impossible. Studying them together means you develop the mathematical rigour to understand economic theory at its foundations, and the economic insight to understand what the mathematics is actually modelling. At the University of Bath, this three-year, full-time programme is taught within two of the university's strongest departments, and the combination reflects genuine academic depth in both areas. You will study microeconomics and macroeconomic theory
