Course summary

The combination of economic theory and mathematical skills you gain on this degree will appeal to a wide range of employers.

Course overview

As well as pure and applied mathematics, you learn probability and statistical techniques that help you understand economics theories and address economic problems.

In Economics you explore topics relating to Britain, Europe and the rest of the world, including:

  • economic analysis and applications
  • global economics
  • micro- and macro-economics

In Mathematics you develop a thorough grounding in topics and techniques such as:

  • differential equations
  • probability
  • statistics

This joint honours degree benefits from teaching from both Newcastle University Business School and our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics, making sure you get expert tuition in both topics.
