Overview

Economics is becoming more mathematical and now requires highly technical tools. Mathematics, one of the most fascinating and intellectually challenging subjects, constantly develops the ways in which we live and think, as it plays a key role in most of today’s scientific and technological advancements. You will not only develop a sound knowledge of economics and mathematics and their application to real-life situations but also enhance your ability to analyse and solve problems.

You will be exposed to core business principles, concepts and applications across a comprehensive spectrum of disciplines while developing an in-depth appreciation of economic principles and its applications in real-world situations and its influence in the operations of corporations and companies.

The complementary blend of knowledge and skills gained during the study of this course will enable graduates to add value to any organisation and perform confidently in an increasingly globalised and digitised business environment.

Learning Outcomes

The course is designed to integrate a deep understanding of the subject matter with the development of key skills and competencies needed to adapt to a rapidly changing, dynamic, and competitive global marketplace. Upon completion, you will be able to:

• Recognise when an unfamiliar problem is open to pure mathematical investigation and/or mathematical modelling, and be able to adapt and/or synthesise a range of mathematical approaches (including abstraction or numerical approximation) to investigate the problem.
• Deploy the methods of logical and mathematical reasoning used by economists, especially within formal models, with an understanding of the purpose and scope of such models.
• Use logical reasoning to critically analyse statements, arguments or conjectures made by others, and be able to justify the mathematical principles they choose for such a critique.
• Use statistical, econometric and computer-based techniques for analysing data, in applying and testing economic models or in economic and financial forecasting.
• Analyse and critically evaluate economic policies, of government and/or other institutions.
• Communicate complex mathematical and economic ideas clearly, at a level appropriate for the intended audience, and also be able to present an effective summary of these ideas for non-experts.
