We apply mathematics to solve real-world economic issues. On this integrated Masters course, you’ll get to understand the relationship between mathematics and economics by:
- gaining strong foundational maths skills
- developing an in-depth perspective on economic concepts.
You’ll learn from leading mathematicians and world-renowned economists, who are experts across both areas. Their research feeds into your teaching at every stage. Your core modules develop your knowledge of pure and applied mathematics. Options allow you to tailor your degree to your particular interests. Areas of study include:
- differential equations
- mathematical modelling
- probability
- behavioural economics
- shaping global policy.
To develop your analytical and modelling skills, you’ll use industry-standard software such as MATLAB, Python and R. In your final year, you’ll develop your skills in an advanced research project.
This course is particularly relevant if you’re interested in a career in research, academia or industry. You’ll have a careers coach and opportunities to engage with potential employers.
Accreditation
- This programme is accredited to meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum. We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
We’ll do our best to provide as much optional choice as we can, but timetabling constraints mean it may not be possible to take some module combinations. The structure of a small number of courses means that the order of modules or the streams you choose may determine whether modules are core or optional. This means that your core modules or options may differ from what’s shown here.
