About this programme
This joint honours degree combines advanced mathematics with a technically rigorous economics programme that emphasises the use of mathematical tools, including econometrics; the statistical methods economists use to analyse data and estimate economic models.This degree will give you an edge in applying the rigour and logic of mathematics to a wide range of economic phenomena. For example, you'll learn how to use advanced linear algebra to analyse high-dimensional economic data or how to use the mathematical structure of complex networks to model strategic interactions. This combination of disciplines equips you with powerful analytical skills that are highly valued in both academic and professional settings.Teaching is informed by the latest developments and cutting-edge research. Our research ranks in the top ten in the UK for economics and econometrics and top five for mathematics (THE analysis of REF 2021). The school is also home to the Economics Network, which improves the teaching and learning of economics in universities throughout the UK and Europe.You will build strong foundations in both subjects, studying core material in applied analysis, probability and statistics, microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics. A broad range of optional units allows you to shape the degree around your interests. Recent options include data science, behavioural economics, financial mathematics, machine learning, time series analysis and international trade.In your final year, you may also undertake a dissertation in economics, giving you the opportunity to explore a specialist topic in depth and further develop your research and analytical skills.Bristol graduates are highly sought after. On average, Bristol economics graduates earn 10% more than other UK economics graduates 15 months after graduation, with typical salaries between £31,000 and £44,000 in that year (discoveruni.gov.uk, graduates from 2022-23).Recent BSc Economics and Mathematics graduates have secured roles such as Data Analyst, Proprietary Trader, Audit Associate and Environmental Advisor, working in organisations including JP Morgan, Amazon, PwC and Scotiabank.
