Economics and Mathematics B.Sc

Course description
This three-year dual honors degree combines the study of economics and mathematics with an emphasis on advanced technical skills.

The first year is similar to that of the BSc Economics course. You'll study economic theory and techniques, alongside mathematics modules. In the second and third years, the split between the two subjects is roughly equal.

The two subjects complement each other. You'll develop the analytical skills essential for economists to make sound judgements. Mathematics adds another dimension to your experience, making you a highly effective thinker and problem-solver.

The degree is flexible enough for you to choose a range of modules in mathematics and economics, as well as modules from other disciplines.

Degrees with employment experience
We offer you the chance to do a year-long work placement, starting after your second year. This is a great opportunity to get paid work experience with some of the UK's top employers who want to recruit the best students from Sheffield. Recent placements have been with Bank of England, Lloyds Bank, IBM, ASOS and Mercedes-Benz.
